Headlight Restoration in San Diego, CA

A $40–$60 basic mobile buff & seal is just a quick polish and a thin UV spray. It hides light haze for a few months at best — then the yellowing comes right back, often worse, because the damaged outer layer was never removed. We don't offer it because it isn't fair to the customer. Our $125 Full Professional Restoration includes deep multi-stage wet sanding, compounding, polishing and an industrial UV-protective ceramic topcoat that lasts 2–5 years. It's the only restoration worth paying for.

Modern headlights are made of polycarbonate plastic with a thin protective UV coating. Years of UV rays, road heat, and chemical exposure break that coating down, oxidizing the plastic underneath. The result is the yellow, hazy, cloudy look that scatters your light output and cuts nighttime visibility by up to 70%.

Our professional restoration includes an industrial UV-protective ceramic topcoat engineered to last years, not months. With normal use you can expect lasting clarity backed by our workmanship guarantee — far longer than any DIY kit, toothpaste hack or quick polish.

For 95% of vehicles, yes. New OEM headlight assemblies often cost $600–$1,500+ each, plus installation and aiming. Our $125 restoration brings cloudy, yellow headlights back to like-new optical clarity in about an hour — without touching wiring, bumpers, or your warranty.

Absolutely. Our multi-stage wet-sanding and polishing process is designed for the worst cases — heavy yellowing, deep oxidation, micro-cracking, and clouded interiors. If the lens is structurally intact, we can almost always bring it back.

About one hour per vehicle. Most appointments are completed start-to-finish in 45–75 minutes depending on the level of oxidation.
