When headlights are cloudy or yellowed, it means that the clear coat on the headlight is wearing down. Headlight restoration can help restore your headlights to keep them looking new for much longer.

What is Headlight Restoration

 Is an easy fix for hazy, damaged and yellowed car headlights. Headlights take quite a bit of abuse during regular driving conditions (especially in harsh climates) and can become severely hazed over time due to the constant exposure of harmful chemicals, weather, dirt, debris, bugs, rocks, water and weather. Headlight restoration is a process where technicians remove the clouded layer of plastic from your headlight using chemicals or by sanding. Once the damaged layer is removed, they apply a clear resin which brings back the original shine of your headlight. They also apply a UV protective barrier that helps protect the headlight from sun damage. It’s important to note that if the yellow film on the headlights is deeper than surface level, headlight restoration might not be as effective. In most cases, headlights can be restored back to full brightness in under thirty minutes!

With being such an easy fix, let’s examine the pros to having headlight restoration service performed on your vehicle.
