FAQ
What is headlight restoration?
Oxidation occurs from UV rays, road contaminates, weather, and car wash chemicals. This oxidation causes plastic headlight lenses to become foggy or yellow. Restoration removes the oxidation by a micro sanding process, then a final polish is applied to protect the plastic from further oxidation.
How long does the restoration process take?
Typically, it only takes 30-45 minutes to restore a set of headlights, depending on the severity of the oxidation.
How long does it last?
The restored surface lasts up to one year. It is best to have the headlights restored at least once a year to keep them looking like new. Headlights exposed to harsh chemicals and UV rays may need to be restored more often.
Will my headlights look like new?
In most cases, your headlights will look like new. You will be surprised at the improvement in clarity and how your headlights sparkle after they are restored!
Can you repair a hole or crack in my headlight?
Although headlight lenses can be removed then repaired with resin, we do not provide this service.
Can you replace my headlights?
We do not replace headlights. Please contact an auto mechanic for this service.
Is it worth restoring instead of replacing my headlights?
Restoration costs much less than replacement. Usually, it is about one-fourth the cost compared to buying new headlight lenses.
Will restoring the headlights raise the value of my vehicle?
Yes, you can often get a better price for a used vehicle when it looks like new. Shiny headlights can improve the overall appearance of your vehicle.
Will I be able to see better at night?
Safety is the most important reason to restore foggy, dim headlights. Clear headlights can significantly improve your ability to see the road at night and during bad weather. They also reduce glare experienced by oncoming drivers.
