Headlight restoration
Restore clarity, remove yellowing and oxidation. Better light output means safer driving — and the car looks years younger.
Gallery
Recent headlight restoration work from our studio.
Headlights yellow and haze because the polycarbonate lens degrades under UV. The factory clear coat breaks down over years and the lens itself oxidises. We sand through the damage in stages (typically 800, 1500, 3000 grit, sometimes finer), machine polish to restore clarity, and apply a UV-protective sealant so the restoration lasts. Light output improves measurably — you get the photons you paid for back on the road. Cosmetically, the car looks years younger.
Why this service
Real safety benefit
Restored lens transmits noticeably more light — meaningful in poor weather and at night.
Aesthetics
Clear lenses make the entire front of the car look fresh — like a much newer model.
Cheaper than replacement
Restoration is a fraction of the cost of new headlight units.
UV-protected finish
We seal the work so the haze doesn't return in 6 months.
How we do it

Mask and prep
Surrounding paint and trim is fully masked off so sanding doesn't damage anything.

- 3
Machine polishing
Compound and polish bring the lens back to optical clarity.
- 4
UV sealant
Final UV-blocking coating preserves the result long-term.
