General

• What is headlight restoration and why should I do it?

  Restoration removes oxidation, polishes the lens, and adds UV protection to bring back clarity and night visibility. It’s far cheaper than replacement and helps with inspections and resale value.

• Do I need restoration or replacement?

  If lenses are yellowed or cloudy but intact, restoration is usually best value. Cracks, broken mounts, or heavy internal moisture point to replacement. We’ll advise on-site.

• Do you restore taillights, fog lights, or motorcycles?

  Yes—most clear plastic exterior lenses can be restored. See Services & Pricing for add-ons.

Service & Process

• What does your process include?

  We mask paint, sand oxidation progressively, polish to optical clarity, and apply a professional UV coating. Typical time: 45–90 minutes.

• Is sanding safe for my vehicle?

  Yes. Controlled techniques and masking protect paint and trim. Edges/curves are handled carefully for uniform clarity.

• Can you fix moisture inside the headlight?

  Internal condensation is a seal problem. Exterior restoration doesn’t reseal housings; we’ll recommend next steps after inspection.

• Can you work in rain or direct sun?

  Light rain or extreme heat can affect the coating. We’ll reschedule or find shade/cover to ensure proper curing.

Pricing & Payment

• How much does it cost?

  See our Services & Pricing page for transparent rates. Standard two-lens jobs are a flat rate; severe oxidation/specialty lenses may cost more.

• What payment methods do you accept?

  We accept major credit/debit cards and contactless payments. Digital receipts provided.

• Do you offer discounts?

  We run seasonal promotions. Fleet, dealership, and multi-vehicle pricing is available—contact us for a quote.

Results & Warranty

• How long do results last?

  With aftercare, most customers see 12+ months of clarity. Following our maintenance tips extends protection.

• Do you offer a guarantee?

  Yes—a 12-month fog-free guarantee on professional restorations when aftercare is followed. If haze returns prematurely, we’ll make it right.

• Will it look like new?

  Most lenses achieve a like-new look. Deep pitting or prior damage may limit perfection, but night visibility improves dramatically.

Aftercare & Maintenance

• What should I do after the appointment?

  Avoid washing the headlights for 24 hours so the UV coating fully cures. After that, wash with pH-balanced soap and microfiber.

• How do I keep them clear longer?

  Park in shade when possible, clean regularly, and apply a maintenance UV protectant every few months. See this guide.

• Are protective films worth it?

  Yes. Clear films add UV protection and resist chips. We can advise on compatible options for your vehicle.

Scheduling & Mobile Service

• Do you come to my location?

  Yes—mobile service at your home or workplace within our service area. If you’re just outside, reach out and we’ll try to accommodate.

• How soon can I book?

  Availability varies. The fastest way is to contact us with your location and preferred times.

• Do I need to be present the whole time?

  Not necessarily—we just need safe access to the vehicle. We’ll confirm details when scheduling.

Vehicle-Specific

• Do you work on luxury or classic vehicles?

  Yes. We take added precautions on rare or high-value vehicles and tailor the process to lens type and condition.

• Are aftermarket headlights okay to restore?

  Usually, yes. Some aftermarket coatings behave differently; we’ll assess on arrival and explain any limitations.

• Will restoration affect adaptive/matrix headlights?

  No. We don’t alter electronics or aim. We improve outer lens clarity so your system performs as designed.

Troubleshooting

• I tried a DIY kit and it didn’t last—can you fix it?

  Yes. We can remove residue, correct sanding marks, and apply a professional UV coating for longer-lasting clarity. Compare options: DIY vs Professional.

• There’s haze after washing—what now?

  Immediate haze could be internal moisture or residue. Contact us—we’ll diagnose and recommend solutions.

• One headlight is clear and the other is yellow—is that normal?

  Yes. Sun exposure varies by side and parking habits. We’ll restore both to match for consistent looks and beam pattern.
