Headlight Restoration
Restore Your Headlights, Get Better Visibility, and Make Your Car Look Newer
Do your headlights have a foggy-hazy look to them? Maybe you’ve noticed your visibility at night or during the rainy times is much lower. No worries, you don’t have to replace them, nor do you have to open up your lens (as many people think the haziness is from the inside of the lens. Most of the time it’s not).
We don’t use a generic headlight repair kit that you find at your local auto parts store. We go through a full 8-step sanding, compounding, polishing, and protection process to offer the best results.
By sanding your headlights, we’re removing the old layer of clear coat that has failed and oxidized (which leads to the yellow-foggy look). Then we’ll compound and polish to bring them back to a like-new condition. Finally, for protection, we’ll apply a 1-year ceramic coating.
Our Process
1
Start sanding headlight with 800 grit
The first round of sanding is where the oxidization is removed. You'll see a lot of slurry come off.
2
Sand headlight with 1,000 grit
As we move up the process, we remove less oxidization. The focus now is to refine the sanding marks.
3
Sand headlight with 1,500 grit
You can start to see a noticeable difference in the clarity of the headlights.
4
Sand headlights with 2,500 grit
5
Sand headlights with 3,000 grit
This is the final sanding step. The headlight is looking much clearer
6
Compound the headlights
Using a cutting disc, compound, and machine polisher, we'll remove the sanding marks.
7
Polish the headlights
Finally, we'll refine the cutting step to bring out maximum clarity with a light polish and polishing pad.
8
Protect the headlights
For protection, we'll apply a 1-year ceramic coating. This will provide durable protection.
