Who it’s for

For drivers with cloudy, yellowed or faded headlights.

If your headlights look hazy in photos, fail to light up road signs like they used to, or make the front of your car look tired, this restore service is a fast way to bring clarity back without paying for new housings.

Daily commuters

More confidence on dark roads.

Ideal if you drive early mornings or late nights and feel like your lights don’t reach as far as they should because of cloudy lenses.

Older vehicles

Quick facelift for the front end.

Great for cars and SUVs that are mechanically solid but look worn from the front. Restored headlights instantly modernize the look.

Safety & inspections

Help pass visibility checks.

Perfect if you are worried about visibility, safety or upcoming inspections where headlight performance matters.

What’s included

Your Headlight Restore service.

This service focuses on carefully cutting through oxidation, then sealing the lens. Here is what you get for $100.00 on most cars and small SUVs.

Masked off headlight being cleaned before restoration
Clean and tape off surrounding areas

Headlight lenses are cleaned and areas around them are masked off to protect paint and trim before sanding or polishing begins.

Multi step sanding to cut oxidation

Progressive sanding is used where needed to break through the yellowed outer layer and even out the surface of the plastic lens.

Polishing pad refining a clear headlight lens
Machine polishing to restore clarity

Machine polishing refines the lens from cloudy to clear, helping light output and giving the headlight that fresh, glossy look again.

Protective UV sealant being applied to a restored headlight
UV sealant to slow future yellowing

A protective UV sealant or coating is applied to help slow the return of oxidation when paired with basic home care.

Where it fits

Headlight Restore as a smart add-on to exterior details.

Headlight restoration pairs perfectly with exterior detailing and wash packages. While the body is being washed and shined, Dee can refresh your headlights so the whole front end matches.

  • Great add-on to exterior detail or full detail services.
  • Helps your paint correction or ceramic coating look even better.
  • Quick upgrade if you’re prepping to sell or trade a vehicle.

Headlight Restore FAQs

How long does a headlight restoration usually last?

Most headlight restores last 1–2 years on daily driven vehicles when parked outside, depending on sun exposure and how the vehicle is cared for. Parking in the shade or garage can help it last longer.

Will my headlights look brand new again?

Many lenses come back very close to new, especially if the damage is mostly on the surface. Deep pitting, cracks or heavy inside damage may still be visible but will usually look much better than before.

Can you restore headlights with moisture or condensation inside?

This service focuses on the outside of the lens. If there is heavy moisture or water inside the housing, Dee can look at it and let you know if restoration makes sense or if replacement is the better call.

Do you need my car for a full day?

No. Headlight Restore is a shorter service compared to full details. Timing depends on lens condition and what it is paired with, but it is often completed during your other detailing work.

Is the $100.00 price for every vehicle?

The $100.00 price covers a standard pair of headlights on most cars and small SUVs. Oversized or custom setups, or severely damaged lenses, may be quoted differently after Dee sees them in person or by photo.
