Headlight Restoration · San Diego, CA

Clear headlights, safer nights.

Mobile headlight restoration that comes to your home or office anywhere in San Diego County. We sand, polish, and UV-seal foggy, yellowed lenses so they stay clear. Quoted on inspection.

What headlight restoration does

Headlight restoration brings cloudy, yellowed lenses back to clear, and seals them so they stay that way. Modern headlights are polycarbonate, and the strong San Diego sun breaks down their protective coating and oxidizes the surface until the light looks dim and the car looks older than it is. We wet-sand the oxidized layer off in stages, polish the lens back to clarity, and apply a UV sealant, which is the step that separates a lasting fix from a quick buff that hazes over in weeks. Beyond looking newer, clear lenses measurably improve how much light reaches the road at night. Pricing is quoted on inspection since it depends on how badly the lenses have gone, and it pairs naturally with any detail.

Common questions

Headlight restoration questions answered.

How much does headlight restoration cost in San Diego?

Headlight restoration is quoted on inspection, because the price depends on how badly the lenses have oxidized and yellowed. Light hazing is quick; heavy, crusted oxidation takes more sanding and sealing. We give you a firm price after a quick look, and it pairs well with any detail package.

What causes headlights to fog and turn yellow?

San Diego sun is the main culprit. Modern headlights are polycarbonate plastic, and constant UV breaks down the protective coating and oxidizes the surface, leaving it cloudy and yellow. Coastal salt air and road grime speed it up. The result is dimmer light output and a car that looks older than it is.

Do you come to me for headlight restoration?

Yes. It is a mobile service, so we restore your headlights at your home or office anywhere in San Diego County, and it is easy to combine with a detail in the same visit. The self-contained rig carries everything we need.

How does headlight restoration work?

We wet-sand the oxidized layer off the lens in stages, polish it back to clarity, and then seal it with a UV protectant so it stays clear rather than fogging back up in a few weeks. The sealing step is what separates a lasting restoration from a quick buff that hazes over again.

How long does headlight restoration last?

With the UV sealant we apply, a restoration typically holds for one to three years before the lenses start to haze again, depending on how much sun the car sees and where it is parked. A quick buff with no sealant, by contrast, can fog back up within months.

Will it improve my night visibility?

Yes. Cloudy, yellowed lenses scatter and block light, so clearing them measurably improves how much light reaches the road. For a lot of people that safety improvement is the main reason to do it, beyond the car simply looking newer.

How long does the service take?

Usually about 45 minutes to an hour for a pair, depending on how oxidized the lenses are. Added to a detail it extends the appointment by roughly that much, and it all happens in a single visit.
