This week our guest was Topher McGinnis, otherwise known as the "Headlight Motor man." He is the person in the vast world of "MOPAR hidden headlight restoration" and has found a unique way to service a very specific segment of the restoration industry. I didn't ask him specifically about non MOPAR applications, but I'm sure he'd be willing to help give advice one way or the other!
