Cut back yellowed, hazy lenses and seal them properly. More light on the road at night and a front end that stops looking tired.
Both lenses, roughly one hour, $100 for the pair.
Priced for the pair. Lenses with internal condensation, internal clouding or cracks cannot be restored from the outside, and we will tell you that before taking your money.
This is the one service on our menu that is about seeing, not just being seen.
Oxidized lenses scatter light instead of projecting it. Restoration can recover a large share of the beam a new lens would throw.
Rural Upstate roads without street lighting are where the difference between clear and hazy lenses actually gets dangerous.
Yellowed headlights are one of the first things a buyer reads as neglect, and they date a vehicle more than mileage does.
A pair of OEM headlight assemblies on a modern vehicle routinely runs into four figures. Restoration is $100.
Polishing alone looks great for six weeks. The UV sealant is the entire reason the result lasts.
The whole service takes about an hour in your driveway. No shop visit, no waiting room.
We confirm the haze is on the outside of the lens, not inside, and mask the surrounding paint completely.
Progressive grits remove the degraded polycarbonate. This is the step that actually fixes the problem.
Machine polishing takes the sanded surface back to full clarity so the lens projects rather than scatters.
A UV protective coating goes on and cures. Skip this step and the yellowing comes straight back.
Headlight restoration is the wet sanding and polishing of oxidized polycarbonate headlight lenses, followed by a UV protective sealant. Sanding removes the yellowed, degraded outer layer, polishing returns optical clarity, and the sealant is what stops the oxidation from returning within months.
Headlight restoration is $100 for the pair and takes about an hour. Fog lights are included where fitted. It is a popular add on to a full or exterior detail since the vehicle is already with us.
Two to three years with the UV sealant applied, depending on how much direct sun the vehicle sees. A car parked outside all day in South Carolina sun sits at the shorter end of that range. Restoration without a sealant, which is what most cheap kits are, starts hazing again within a couple of months.
No. Internal condensation or internal clouding means the housing seal has failed, and no amount of outside work will touch it. That needs the assembly resealed or replaced. We will check before quoting and tell you honestly if that is what you are looking at.
In most cases yes, provided the lens itself is not cracked and the assembly is sound. Restoration substantially improves light output and clarity. If a lens is cracked or the housing is damaged, restoration will not fix it and replacement is the only route.
The sanding and polishing steps are similar. The difference is the sealant and the machine polishing. Most retail kits either omit UV protection or include a wipe on product that fails quickly, which is why kit results usually last weeks rather than years.
On their own is fine. It is a one hour visit and we come to you. That said, most customers add it to a detail because the trip is already made and the front end tends to look inconsistent when the paint is corrected and the lenses are not.
Complete interior and exterior service. The full reset, inside and out, in one visit.
Deep vacuum, steam, shampoo and conditioning. Every seam, vent and crevice.
Hand wash, decontamination, wheels, tires, trim and a protective finish.
System X paint protection with a deep gloss and a hydrophobic, self cleaning finish.
Machine polishing that removes swirl marks, oxidation and light scratches.
Safe degrease and dress of the engine bay so it looks as cared for as the paint.
Hangar and ramp detailing for private aircraft, using aviation safe products.
Send a photo of your headlights and we will tell you whether restoration will fix them.
