Headlight Restoration
Process breakdown
Do your headlights have a foggy-hazy look to them? Maybe you’ve noticed your visibility at night or during the rainy times is much lower (thank you Houston weather). No worries, you don’t have to replace them, nor do you have to open up your lens (as many people think the haziness is from the inside of the lens. Most of the time it’s not).
The Ultimate Headlight Restoration Process
We don’t use a generic headlight repair kit that you find at your local auto parts store. We go through a full 8-step sanding, compounding, polishing, and protection process to offer the best results.
- 1Start sanding headlight with 800 grit
The first round of sanding is where the oxidization is removed. You'll see a lot of slurry come off.
- 2Sand headlight with 1,000 grit
As we move up the process, we remove less oxidization. The focus now is to refine the sanding marks.
- 3Sand headlight with 1,500 grit
You can start to see a noticeable difference in the clarity of the headlights.
- 4Sand headlights with 2,500 grit
- 5Sand headlights with 3,000 grit
This is the final sanding step. The headlight is looking much clearer.
- 6Compound the headlights
Using a cutting disc, compound, and machine polisher, we'll remove the sanding marks.
- 7Polish the headlights
Finally, we'll refine the cutting step to bring out maximum clarity with a light polish and polishing pad.
- 8Protect the headlights
For protection, we'll apply a 1-year ceramic coating. This will provide durable protection.
By sanding your headlights, we’re removing the old layer of clear coat that has failed and oxidized (which leads to the yellow-foggy look). Then we’ll compound and polish to bring them back to a like-new condition. Finally, for protection, we’ll apply a 1-year ceramic coating
