Headlight restoration can rejuvenate the looks of your car very quickly
Headlight restoration of foggy headlights is one of the quickest and easiest ways to make your car look fresh again.
There is no doubt that after headlights have yellowed or fogged, they make even the nicest cars look old, weathered and dumpy. That is true whether you are driving a Lexus, Cadillac or a Ford.
Glass Headlights Did Not Require Headlight Restoration
Older cars had glass headlight lenses and they were always clear. The bad news was the lenses were more susceptible to cracks or breaking. The new poly carbonate headlights are much tougher than their glass predecessors and if they do break, they will not explode into scores of pieces and shards. There is just a crack in the molded lens.
However, poly carbonate headlights have a UV protectant coating to help the plastic lens last longer. The coating will usually last at least three years or longer. But, over time the foggy, yellowing of the coating happens and headlight restoration is needed to remove the old coating and replace it with a fresh coating.
The Steps Of Headlight Restoration
The concept of headlight restoration is not complex. The success of doing it comes down to having the materials and performing the tasks correctly. Our process for rejuvenating has three basic steps –
• Step One – Completely strip the old coating off of the lens
• Step Two – Re-apply a new fresh coating evenly at the appropriate thickness
• Step Three – Allow the coating to dry completely – a crystal clear headlight will result
Unfortunately, vehicle owners find it impossible to get similar results with the do-it-yourself kits. These kits are basically a wax agent that is applied over of the old coating on the foggy lens. This gives you a temporary fix, but within months the wax wears off and foggy lens returns. Without the powerful stripping agent used by professionals, a DIY headlight restoration is a temporary “fix” lasting only couple of months.
