Know Before You Book
Is Your Headlight Restorable?
Restoration works on almost every oxidized headlight — here's how to tell what you're working with.
Good Candidate
- Yellow, hazy, or cloudy lens — UV oxidation is exactly what we remove
- Foggy from the outside surface — most oxidation is external
- Light surface scratches on the lens
- Headlight that dims your night visibility — restoration typically recovers 70–90% of original output
- Any make or model — we've done sedans, SUVs, trucks, Corvettes, Lexus, and everything in between
Needs Replacement Instead
- Cracked or shattered housing — restoration can't fix structural damage
- Fogging or moisture inside the lens (condensation inside the housing)
- Broken or burnt-out projector / reflector internally
- Deep gouges that go fully through the polycarbonate

Foggy Headlights Reduce Night Visibility by Up to 80%
UV oxidation scatters and blocks light output, turning a clean beam into a diffused glow. Restoration typically recovers 70–90% of original output — a real safety improvement, not just cosmetic.
The Process
Why Mobile Headlight Restoration
Beats a Car Wash Buff.
A car wash buff lasts weeks. Our 4-step wet-sand process removes the oxidation layer completely — results last years.
Mask & Prep
Paint masking tape applied around the entire housing to protect your finish during wet-sanding.
Wet-Sand
Multiple sandpaper grits remove the UV-damaged surface layer, scratches, and oxidation down to clear polycarbonate.
Machine Polish
Compound and polish compounds restore full optical clarity, removing all sanding marks to a mirror finish.
UV Reseal
Professional UV-blocking sealant locks in the clarity and prevents re-oxidation. Holds 2–3 years.
FAQ
Headlight Questions
How long does it take?
30–60 minutes at your location for both headlights. We do both in one visit. You don't need to be home — just driveway access.
How long do results last?
2–3 years with the UV sealant applied. Unlike a quick buff, we wet-sand the oxidation out and seal the lens properly — it won't cloud back in 3 weeks.
Restore vs. replace — which is better?
Restoration at $80/pair vs. OEM replacement at $200–$600+ per side. As long as the housing isn't cracked, restoration delivers factory-clear results at a fraction of the cost.
Can I bundle with a detail?
Yes — add headlights to any detail for $70 (vs $80 standalone). We do both in the same visit. Select the headlights add-on when booking your detail.
