Headlight Restoration
Cloudy, yellowed, or oxidized headlights don’t just make your car look older—they also reduce your visibility at night and compromise your safety. At Tedrow’s Mobile Detailing, our Headlight Restoration service is designed to reverse years of damage and restore both the clarity and function of your headlights.
What’s Included
For just $75, our headlight restoration service includes:
- Full oxidation removal and sanding
- Machine polishing for improved lens clarity
- Application of a semi-permanent UV-resistant coating to protect against future fading
This service is effective for most vehicles, returning your headlights to a like-new appearance while boosting night-time safety.
Why It Matters
Over time, UV exposure, road debris, and weather conditions take a toll on your headlights, making them appear dull and discolored. This doesn’t just affect how your vehicle looks—it impacts how far and how clearly you can see at night.
- Sharper visibility and safer nighttime driving
- A clean, upgraded exterior look
- Added value if you’re planning to sell your vehicle
Why Do Headlights Oxidize?
In the past, vehicles were equipped with glass headlight lenses, which held up well against the elements but were heavier, more brittle, and expensive to replace. Today, nearly all modern vehicles use polycarbonate plastic lenses. This material is lighter and more impact-resistant, but it comes with a trade-off: it’s highly susceptible to UV damage.
To combat this, manufacturers apply a thin factory UV coating to the outside of the lens. Over time—especially with constant sun exposure, road salt, debris, and car wash chemicals—this protective layer begins to break down and wear off. Once that happens, the plastic becomes vulnerable to oxidation, resulting in the cloudy, yellowed appearance you see on many older headlights.
This isn’t just cosmetic. Oxidized headlights can cut down light output by up to 80%, putting both you and others on the road at risk.
Our restoration process removes that damaged layer and replaces it with a fresh, semi-permanent UV coating, restoring clarity and extending the life of your headlights.
