Tape & Wet Sand
 

Wet sanding is an effective method for restoring cloudy, oxidized, and yellowed headlights. This process involves using fine-grit sandpaper with water to gently remove the outer damaged layer of the headlight lens. Starting with a coarser grit and gradually moving to a finer grit smooths out imperfections and oxidation buildup.

Machine Buff & Compound

 Using a specialized polishing compound and a high-speed buffer, the process removes the top layer of oxidation, revealing a clear, smooth surface underneath. This method not only enhances visibility and safety but also improves the overall look of your vehicle. With professional-grade compounds and precision buffing, headlights regain their original clarity, ensuring long-lasting results and protection against future discoloration.

Before applying a wax or sealant, it’s essential to give the headlights a final polish to achieve maximum clarity and smoothness. This step removes any remaining fine scratches, oxidation, or haze, ensuring a crystal-clear finish. Next, we remove any oils or dust. This prepares the surface for a wax or sealant, allowing for better adhesion and longer-lasting protection against UV damage and oxidation.

Applying a ceramic coating to headlights is a great way to protect them from oxidation, UV damage, and yellowing over time. This durable, hydrophobic layer creates a protective barrier that repels water, dirt, and debris while enhancing clarity and shine. By sealing the surface, ceramic coating extends the life of your headlights, reducing the need for frequent restoration. It's an excellent investment for maintaining visibility and keeping your vehicle looking its best.
