FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Headlight restoration is a multi-step process that removes oxidation, yellowing, and cloudiness from a headlight's outer polycarbonate lens and applies a protective UV sealant. The result is dramatically clearer lenses, brighter nighttime light output, and a refreshed appearance — without replacing the headlight.

Most vehicles are completed in 30 to 60 minutes. Heavily oxidized lenses or larger SUV/truck headlights may take slightly longer.

Our restoration service starts at a fraction of the cost of new headlights. Replacement headlights typically run $250–$2,000+ per pair installed, while professional restoration is usually under $200 for both lenses.

Our UV-protected restoration is designed to last up to 3 years. We also offer a 1-year free re-restoration guarantee — if your lenses fade significantly within 12 months, we restore them again at no charge.

Yes. Restored headlights with full light output and clear lenses meet all Colorado vehicle requirements. Many customers restore specifically to pass inspection or improve their car's resale value.

Absolutely. We use professional-grade abrasives and sealants made specifically for automotive polycarbonate lenses — the same materials used by detail shops and dealerships.

The #1 cause is UV exposure. The factory UV coating wears off over time, and Colorado's high altitude and intense sunshine accelerate the process. Road debris, chemicals, and heat from the bulb also contribute.

New OEM headlights commonly cost $500–$2,000+ per pair plus labor and aiming. Restoration delivers OEM-level clarity for a small fraction of that cost — and many modern aftermarket headlights aren't as bright or as well-sealed as the originals.

Yes. Cloudy headlights can reduce light output by up to 80%. Restoration typically restores 80–90% of original brightness, which dramatically improves your ability to see — and be seen — at night.

Yes. We offer mobile headlight restoration throughout the Denver metro area and Front Range. We bring our own power and water; we only need a flat spot to park.

Yes — every restoration includes our 1-year free re-restoration guarantee. If your lenses fade noticeably within 12 months, we redo them at no charge.

Yes. The UV-blocking sealant we apply is the key difference between a DIY kit (which usually fades in months) and a professional restoration that lasts years.

Modern vehicles (1990s and newer) use polycarbonate plastic lenses, which are what we restore. Older glass lenses don't oxidize and don't need restoration.

Cracks and internal moisture indicate a sealed-housing failure, which restoration can't fix. We'll inspect first and let you know honestly if replacement is the right call.

Most customers see an immediate, visible improvement — often 2–3x brighter at night. Heavily oxidized lenses can show even more dramatic gains.

Yes — cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, fleet vehicles, and commercial vans. We offer multi-vehicle pricing for fleets.

With our UV protection, most customers get 2–3 years before any re-restoration is needed. Without UV protection, oxidation can return in 6–12 months.

No. Our process removes only the damaged outer layer of the lens and replaces the factory UV coating with a longer-lasting professional sealant.

Yes. Cloudy headlights are one of the first things buyers and appraisers notice. Clear headlights make a vehicle look years newer and can meaningfully improve resale or trade-in value.
