The process removes cloudiness and yellowing caused by sun damage and elements, restoring clarity to the headlights. This significantly improves nighttime and bad weather visibility. Additionally, restored headlights make your car look newer and sharper. But perhaps the biggest benefit is financial. Headlight restoration is a much cheaper alternative to replacing the entire headlight assembly, saving you money in the long run.

This 2006 Mazda Miata was a unique challenge. As you can see, the headlights are recessed behind the bumper. In order to be able to machine sand, polish and coat the entire lens, the bumper was removed to give me unrestricted access all the edges. They turned out great!

You are looking at the headlights from the Chrysler Crossfire, a unique product of the DaimlerChrysler era. Produced for only 4 years from 2004 to 2008, it shared nearly 80% of its components with the first-generation Mercedes-Benz SLK320. Production took place in Germany by the coach builder Karmann. Its distinctive "boat-tail" styling was inspired by 1930s Art Deco design. Some people loved it, and some didn’t. The car’s short lifespan ended with just over 76,000 units built before it was discontinued when Daimler and Chrysler split.

It’s a somewhat rare car with low production numbers. Rare because you just don’t see them around much anymore, which means replacement headlights are near impossible to find. That’s where restoration services come in to play. These when from looking pretty bad to looking great in just a couple of hours.

Even Porsches need their headlights restored sometimes. My client recently purchased this used Macan. The car was beautiful except for the headlights, so l did my magic and made them look like new.

For whatever reason, Porsche headlights are rock hard, so they take more time and materials to sand properly. First, they were machine sanded with 5 sanding steps. Then they were machine compounded and polished to reveal the crystal clear finish. Finally, they were coated for years of protection.

Michael needed to see better at night. To accomplish this, he did two things… Called us to restore his headlight lenses, and then also replaced his old bulbs. The result was much brighter lights and a much better and younger looking Camry.

Here’s a glimpse into our multi-step sanding and polishing process of restoring headlights…

First, we machine sand your headlights to remove oxidation and yellow haze from your polycarbonate headlight lenses. This is done using up to 5 different sanding steps and sand papers.

Second, we perfect your headlights by carefully machine compounding them to remove any sanding marks. This is followed by a fine machine polish, which gets them perfectly clear again.

And finally, we protect your newly restored headlights with a ceramic coating engineered specifically for your polycarbonate lenses. This will help maintain their clarity and prevent them from yellowing again.

Another set of headlights brought back to life. This 2012 Audi Q5 got a well deserved facelift, which took 10 years off its life.

First, they were machine sanded starting with 320 grit sandpaper followed by 600, 1000, 1500 and 2000. Then they were machine compounded and polished, followed by a couple of layers of ceramic coating for years of protection.
