Headlight Restoration

Yellowed, hazy lenses were cutting night visibility and ageing the whole front end of this ten-year-old hatchback. Replacement units cost a fortune — restoration was the smart answer.

The challenge

Severely oxidised polycarbonate with UV-coat failure on both lenses, plus moisture staining on the nearside unit.

Work performed

  • Multi-grade wet sanding to remove failed UV coating and oxidation.
  • Three-stage machine polish restoring optical clarity.
  • Ceramic UV sealant applied and IR-cured for lasting protection.
  • Beam pattern and alignment check on our headlight tester.

The result

Crystal-clear lenses with UV sealant and dramatically better night vision — at a tenth of replacement cost.

  • Light output measured 70% brighter on the beam tester.
  • Lenses sealed with 2-year UV protection warranty.
  • Front-end appearance transformed; car passed inspection with ease.
