Headlight Restoration
Yellowed, cloudy headlights restored to crystal clear — safer, smarter, MOT-ready.
Polycarbonate headlights cloud and yellow as UV breaks down their factory coating — cutting light output dramatically, aging the whole front end, and at worst causing an MOT advisory or failure. Replacement units can cost hundreds per side; restoration costs a fraction.
We sand back the degraded layer in controlled stages and seal the lens with a UV-resistant coating — not just a polish that hazes back over in months — restoring clarity and keeping it.
