Who it's for
Owners of cars with foggy, yellowed or chalky headlights. Besides looking tired, hazy lenses throw less light on the road, which matters on dark, foggy San Francisco nights.
What's included
- Masking the surrounding paint and trim
- Wet sanding to remove the failed coating and oxidation
- Machine polishing back to optical clarity
- A UV protective sealant to slow future yellowing
How long it takes
Most pairs of headlights take about an hour. It can be done on its own or alongside one of our details.
Frequently asked questions
How much does headlight restoration cost?
It is quoted per vehicle, because lens size and damage vary a lot. Text a photo of your headlights to (866) 665-5242 and we will reply with a price.
Why do headlights turn yellow?
The plastic lenses have a factory UV coating that breaks down with sun exposure. Once it fails, the surface oxidizes and turns cloudy and yellow.
How long does the result last?
Restored lenses are sealed with a fresh UV protective layer. How long it stays clear depends on sun exposure and parking, and garaged cars keep the result longest.
Can every headlight be restored?
Surface haze and yellowing restore very well. Cracks or moisture inside the housing cannot be polished out, and we will tell you if a replacement makes more sense.
