Headlight Restoration
Headlights are made from polycarbonates plastic and after years of exposure to the elements the coating breaks down and oxidation changes the physical surface of the headlight lens. New headlights have a UV resistant coating applied by the manufacturer to help protect the lens against oxidation. 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. A new set of headlights can cost as much as $400 each not including the installation cost.
