HELP SECTION

Fixing Type - if you have small mounts on either side of the frame’s down tube you need braze-on shifters, if there are no mounts you’ll need clamp-on (sometimes referred to as band-on). Some 'aero' frames have mounts fixed to the top of the down tube, for these frames you require top mount shifters for the correct boss type (see below). There are also 'Clamp-Over' shifters that allow front & rear shifters to be used on a frame that only has a single braze-on.

Shift Type - friction shifters don't click into gear when you change, when they do click it's referred to as indexed shifting. For this to work correctly you must use the same system as your rear derailleur, if you're using friction levers you can mix and match. You don't need to worry about the front derailleur as left downtube shifters aren't indexed.

Speed - the number of cogs at the back the right shifter is designed to be used with. This is important with indexed shifting but with friction shifters you can in theory run any shifters with any speed setup, although the right lever will need to be pulled back further to shift into the larger cogs.

Shifter Boss Type - the shape of the mount (for braze-on fixings only). Campagnolo / ISO is standard and easily identified by the flat sections on either side, usually combined with a square base for the backing stop plates to fit. There are also Shimano ones with a keyhole shaped base and much less common French ones that are round with no flat sections.

Boss Thread Size - M5 (5 mm) is standard for Campagnolo / ISO bosses, but Shimano bosses will often have M4.5 (4.5 mm) threads and the French bosses would likely have 5 x 1 mm threads.

Amazing Product!
Product worked great on some of the older trucks I use for construction vehicles. This product made all the lights look brand spanking new. Awesome product, and definitely recommend if you have any fogging in your headlights. It doesn’t matter the age of the cars/trucks as this product makes them look brand new regardless. I used on both new and older vehicles and you couldn’t tell the difference because the lights looked so clean on both. The product worked amazing . I also noticed at nighttime the headlights provided better visibility too! Perfectly priced!

This works
Wow!! I am shocked at how good this works. In addition to the fact that it works, it is Packaged with novice people in mind to get maximum results. This was worthy of before and after pictures; but, starting tge project, honestly didn't think it would result in the way it did.

Excellent results
I have an older truck with badly oxidized headlights. I saw this product advertised and decided to give it a try. It was amazing how easy it was to do. 3 step process and the most remarkable results! I had a question regarding the process, called the number on the QR code and spoke to a person! OhJoy! More than helpful, put a whole new meaning to "service after the sale"I highly recommend this product and this company!

Not quite what I expected
Great price but the results, though they did improve the clarity, it was not the full results I HAD EXPECTED.. The foiled packages that had the oxidizer removal and ceramic clear coat were nearly dry when I opened them. They should be made more wet when sealed and possibly better foil paqckaging.
