Mask & prep
We tape off the surrounding paint and trim so only the lens gets worked on.
Mobile headlight restoration
Yellowed, foggy lenses make night driving harder, and Alaska has a lot of night. We come to your driveway or garage and bring your headlights back to clear, then seal them to help them stay clear longer.

How it works
Wipe-on kits smear a coating over the damage. We remove the damaged layer, rebuild the clarity, and protect it.
We tape off the surrounding paint and trim so only the lens gets worked on.
Progressive grits cut away the yellowed, oxidized layer until the plastic is even and fresh.
Machine polishing with compound takes the lens from sanded-haze back to clear.
A UV-protective clear coat goes on last to replace the factory layer the sun wore away.
Why restore
Headlight lenses are plastic with a thin factory UV coating. Once sun, road salt and gravel wear it off, the plastic yellows and fogs from the outside in. That haze blocks and scatters the light your bulbs put out.
Clear lenses let your bulbs throw light down the road the way they were designed to.
Long dark winters and wildlife on the road make every extra bit of visibility count.
Restoring the lens you have is far cheaper than buying new headlight assemblies.
Foggy headlights age a car fast. Clear ones make it look cared for, which helps at resale.

Photo tip: shoot the headlight straight on in daylight, with the car off.
When it's too cold outside, bookings must be done indoors, like in a garage or another sheltered, heated space. Sanding, polishing and sealing don't work properly in freezing temperatures.
No garage? Use ours. We have a private garage for cold-weather bookings. You can drop off your vehicle, or just the headlight assemblies if you've removed them. Please call to set up a drop-off.
Call to arrange drop-offQuestions
Modern headlight lenses are polycarbonate plastic with a thin UV-protective coating from the factory. Over time sunlight, road salt, gravel and car washes wear that coating away, and the exposed plastic oxidizes. That's the yellow, foggy layer you see.
Most quick kits and "wipe-on" products fill in the haze for a while, then it comes back. We wet-sand the damaged layer off, machine polish the lens clear, and finish with a UV-protective seal so the fresh plastic is protected again.
No. We're mobile. We come to your home or workplace and do the work right there. Just have the car somewhere we can reach the front end. In cold weather, the work has to happen indoors, either in your garage or in ours by drop-off (see below).
When it's too cold outside, bookings need to be done indoors, like in a garage or another sheltered, heated space. Cold lenses don't sand, polish or seal properly, and the protective coating needs warmth to cure.
No indoor space? We have a private garage for cold-weather bookings. You can drop off your vehicle, or just the headlight assemblies if you've removed them yourself. Drop-offs are arranged by phone, so give us a call to set a time.
Restoration fixes the outside of the lens, which is where almost all yellowing and fogging happens. If there's water, condensation or damage inside the housing, that usually means a broken seal and the housing may need to be replaced. We'll tell you honestly before we start.
