What Is Headlight Restoration ?
Car Headlight restoration is the professional process of sanding, polishing, and re-sealing your yellowed or cloudy headlight lenses to restore headlight lens clarity. Most headlights are made of polycarbonate plastic and over time, UV exposure causes them to oxidize, turning yellow, hazy, and foggy.
To restore headlight we use a multi-stage wet sanding and polishing process, finishing with a professional UV-resistant clear coat sealant that protects the lens and keeps it clear for years — not just weeks like store-bought kits.
Car Headlights in Winston-Salem Need Proper Care and Restoration
Headlight yellow so fast in Winston Salem. And restoring headlight lens is vary important because North Carolina’s UV exposure is no joke. The Carolinas consistently rank among the higher UV index states, and those intense summer sun hours eat away at the factory clear coat on your headlights. Once that UV coating is gone, oxidation takes over and the yellow, hazy look sets in fast.
