I am not too sure about the needs of reflector restoration - or production. I always thought it was chrome.

I have been taking apart late model M-B headlights in prepping for a summer project to install HID xenon lights into my w123 - and it looks like all of the HID lights are just vacuum metalized - even the inner light with faceted reflectors...

My old w123 light seemed to be more of a dipped or chromed process...

What is your process? I have worked with a system called CosmaChrome - and it can produce a nice chrome look...just curious - also can you school us on the difference between a reflector coating and a chrome / vacmetal job?
