We use 2 type of systems one a sand, buff and coat which we call temporary as it will oxidize over time. The rate of oxidation will depend on type of plastic lens and we are seeing 2+ years on many. We have a starting range of 85.00 up to 100 for a pair. The second type is sand and spray on permanent epoxy coating meaning lens will not oxidize and that service has a starting range of 135.00by concoursgarage - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
