Car Headlight Restoration:

Over time the plastic that makes up your headlights will degraded and become cloudy from oxidation or become yellow due to the weather and the extreme sun. Headlights are the most important things to keep clean on your car. Not only do these powerful beams let you see the road, they let other motorists see you.

Most headlight lenses are made of polycarbonate plastic. This strong plastic is perfect for taking on harsh road conditions without breaking, which you definitely want, but it doesn’t play well with the sun. To protect it initially, manufacturers coat the lenses with a UV protective film. But over time this film is destroyed by UV rays, allowing the plastic to oxidize. If your headlights have started to haze over or become yellowish, then it’s clear the oxidation process has begun. Don’t fret though, because getting those headlights looking new again is an easy task for us to accomplish. We’ve mastered the right technique to get your night vision back to factory fresh in no time.
