The Importance of Headlight Restoration Service

Dull, cloudy, foggy headlights with oxidation affect your car’s appearance and safety on the road. Poor lens clarity can diminish your visibility in the night and make it harder for other drivers to see you. This increases the risk of mishaps while driving.

A car with hazy headlights looks worn, both day and night. Even a new or desirable car looks dated and cheap the moment a headlight lens fades. This materially affects your car’s value and liquidity.

Professional Car Headlights Restoration Process

Inspect the headlights: Look for scratches, oxidation, failing clear coat.

Deep-clean lenses: We decontaminate and rinse the car headlights to remove grit, grime, and contaminants.

Tape adjoining panels: We then use vehicle-safe painter’s tape to protect adjoining panels from potential sandpaper damage.

Wet sand headlights (if needed): We repair the car headlights by working them smooth using sandpaper and water. This sanding process removes oxidation, fine scratches, and leaves the car headlights in a uniformly foggy state.

Polish headlights: After wet-sanding each lens smooth, we rub each with a plastic polishing compound and work it into the lens with a machine polisher or by hand to find and fix lens clarity.

Sealant coating: Finally, we apply a plastic-specific sealant coating to protect your headlights from UV rays exposure and further oxidation.

Provide maintenance tips: After the car headlight repair, we provide simple maintenance tips to help ensure that your lenses stay clear and bright for years.

Benefits of Professional Headlight Restoration

Improved Visibility and Safety: Car headlight repair fixes scratched and cloudy headlights; improves your visibility in the night; improves the ability of other drivers to see you; reduces the possibility of driving mishaps.

Long-Lasting Results: Professional headlight restoration services ensure your headlights are clear and bright for years to come with permanent results.

Cost-Effective Alternative to Buying New Headlights: Headlights restoration service is the quick and convenient way of restoring clarity and brightness to faded and cloudy lenses—at a fraction of the cost to replace headlights.

Enhances Appearance & Value of Vehicle: Dull and faded headlights affect your car’s appearance and lighting performance, while professional headlight restoration makes your car look like new and shine brightly again while increasing its value!

Schedule Headlight Restoration Service in Los Angeles

Headlight restoration is a great way to draw brightness from your headlights—value from your car. DIY kits may work. But, follow instructions and common sense to avoid potential costly pitfalls. You can also purchase a headlight replacement, though they’re expensive to buy and install, inconvenient, and sometimes the mechanics add wear to your car during the surprisingly involved replacement process.

Save yourself the time and frustration from researching, purchasing, and trying a kit that may not work—or worse. Contact Auto Detail Los Angeles today for professional headlight restoration service. Or schedule right now by using the widget below.

Came and did a great job! My headlights were yellow and was able to correct them and protect them.

Alex was very professional from the moment he answered the phone when I first inquired about his services. He was very upfront about costs yet worked within my budget as well. He performed paint correction on my vehicle as well as headlight polishing and both were done with great results. Although he could have easily charged me more for a 2 pass buffing to make the paint almost factory-like, he was straightforward about the risk of not having any clear coat after doing so which could lead to even worse paint degradation in the future. Would definitely recommend and use his services again.

Headlight Restoration FAQs

Most frequent questions and answers

Repair your car headlights as needed. Regular maintenance will protect and prolong their clarity and brightness. Professional car headlight restoration service is the best way to ensure that your headlight lenses remain bright and clear for years while saving you money from buying new headlights.

Auto Detail Los Angeles’ professional headlight restoration service starts with deep-cleaning your vehicles’ headlight lenses. This removes debris and contaminants to prepare the surface for polishing. Then we use car-paint safe tape to tape and protect adjoining panels. We then wet-sand the headlight lenses, if needed, compound and polish them, and apply a headlight-specific sealant coating for protection.

Headlight restoration can be permanent with regular maintenance, such as proper washing and sealing of the headlight. With proper care and maintenance, headlight restoration can last several years before having to be addressed again. However, driving through Los Angeles’ sandy and dusty conditions air inevitably abrades and diminishes the clarity of plastic headlights.

Keeping a headlight lens clear after you have it restored is not hard work—just regularly wash and wax the headlight along with the rest of car using proper car washing techniques. Washing the car properly will keep the headlight from getting scratched and foggy, and keeping them waxed will keep them protected from yellowing due to UV exposure.

No, headlight restoration itself does not damage the paint job or car. However, improper headlight restoration might damage the car’s paint, trim or lenses. For example, if you’re sanding your headlights and slip, you might scratch the trim or paint; if you’re using a mechanical polisher improperly, you might damage the paint or lens; and if you’re using an abrasive solution that isn’t designed for headlight restoration work, you may damage your car’s paint, trim or lenses. 

There are risks associated with DIY headlight restoration kits, most notably, scratching your car’s paint or trim, and overworking the lenses, making them opaque and weaker.

No, you don’t need professional car headlight restoration service for faded headlights, but it helps. Some DIY kits are very good, most notably the 3M kit, but they require time, skill, a steady hand, to get adequate results. With a professional service, you get an experienced technician equipped to perform this repair effectively and safely. For instance, a pro will have experience using sandpaper, tape, clay, compound, polish, polishing pads, and know which are best where. So, if you are not sure about the process, or do not have the time for learning and a spare headlight for practice, finding a professional headlight repair service may be for you.

Always use a microfiber washing mitt, pad, or cloth when cleaning your car headlights to avoid scratching the plastic. Protect your car headlights from UV rays by regularly applying wax to them or a specially made car headlight plastic sealant. Inspect and clean your headlights periodically to identify any problems quickly, repair them quickly before they worsen.
