See Clearly, Drive Safer: Professional Headlight Restoration

Are your headlights hazy, yellow, and oxidized? Not only does this diminish the appearance of your vehicle, but it also creates a serious safety hazard by drastically reducing your night-time visibility. Our professional headlight restoration service strips away years of damage, restoring your headlights to a crystal-clear, like-new condition.

Why a Professional Detail Matters

Why Headlights Turn Yellow and Why It's a Safety Risk

The Journey from Passion to Profession

Modern headlights are made of polycarbonate, which is strong but susceptible to UV radiation from the sun. The factory protective layer breaks down over time, causing the plastic to oxidize and turn cloudy. This hazy layer can reduce light output by as much as 70%, making it difficult to see pedestrians, animals, and obstacles on the road at night.

Our Proven Method for Lasting Clarity

Topical wipes and store-bought kits offer a temporary fix at best. We use a professional, multi-stage process to physically remove the damaged layer and apply a durable new protective coating for a long-lasting, crystal-clear result.

Detailing process

Surface Preparation & Masking

We begin by thoroughly cleaning the headlights and masking off all surrounding paint and trim with automotive tape to protect them from the restoration process.

1

Oxidation & Defect Removal (Sanding)

Using a series of progressively finer grits of wet sandpaper, we carefully sand down the headlight surface. This crucial step removes the entire layer of failed, oxidized plastic.

2

Clarity Refinement (Compounding)

After sanding, the headlight will appear frosty. We use a machine polisher with a specialized cutting compound to remove the sanding marks and begin bringing clarity back to the lens.

3

Final Polish

A final polishing stage removes any remaining haze and refines the surface to a perfectly clear, optically correct finish, maximizing its light output.

4

Durable UV Protective Coating

This is the most important step for longevity. We apply a professional-grade UV protective coating that chemically bonds to the lens, acting as a new, durable clear coat to prevent future yellowing and oxidation for years.
