Headlight Restoration Service
Bring back crystal-clear headlights and improve safety with our professional headlight restoration service.
Over time, headlights fade, turn yellow, and lose clarity — not only making your car look older but also reducing nighttime visibility.
At Hub City Details, we restore your headlights correctly using professional sanding, polishing, and UV protection so they stay clear longer, not just for a week.
Why Your Headlights Need Restoration
Cloudy or yellow headlights happen because of:
Sun & UV damage
Road debris and oxidation
Old failing clear coat
Harsh weather exposure
Restoration improves visibility, safety, and overall appearance instantly.
What’s Included
Full headlight inspection
Multi-stage wet sanding to remove oxidation
Machine polish to restore clarity
UV-resistant sealant or ceramic protection
Final wipe-down and quality check
This isn’t a quick wipe-down. It’s a full professional process that brings your headlights back to life and keeps them protected.
Our Headlight Restoration Process
1. Clean & Prep
We start by washing the headlights and surrounding areas to remove dirt, bugs, and road film. This gives us a clean surface to work with.
2. Tape & Protect
We tape off the paint, trim, and bumper around your headlights to prevent scratches during sanding.
3. Multi-Stage Wet Sanding
This is the key to a real restoration — not just a wipe-down.
We use multiple sanding steps (usually 600, 1,000, and 3,000 grit) to remove oxidation, yellowing, and the old failed clear coat.
4. Machine Polish
After sanding, we polish the lens with a cutting compound and finish polish to bring back full clarity and shine.
5. UV Sealant or Ceramic Coating
To keep the headlights from turning yellow again, we apply a UV-resistant sealant or ceramic protection that lasts 6–12 months (sometimes longer depending on the chosen option).
6. Final Inspection
We check clarity, consistency, and ensure both headlights match in brightness and finish before calling it done.

Headlight Restoration FAQ
How long does a headlight restoration last?
With our UV protection, results typically last 6–12 months depending on sun exposure, parking habits, and maintenance. Some vehicles last even longer with regular protection.
Will my headlights look brand new after the service?
Most headlights return to 90–100% clarity, depending on how deep the oxidation is. If the plastic is severely damaged or pitted, we’ll get them as clear as possible and let you know before starting.
How long does the service take?
A standard headlight restoration takes 30–60 minutes depending on the condition of the headlights.
Do you replace headlights?
No. We strictly restore your existing headlight lens. If it’s cracked, leaking, or damaged internally, we’ll point it out so you can decide if replacement is better.
Is this better than those DIY kits?
Yes. DIY kits usually wipe the surface with a chemical or quick polish, but the yellowing comes back fast.
We do full multi-stage wet sanding + machine polishing + UV protection, which lasts much longer.
Will this help me pass a smog or safety inspection?
Yes. Clear headlights improve visibility and can help you meet headlight brightness requirements.
Do you come to me?
Yes — we’re a fully mobile detailing service. We restore your headlights at your home, work, or apartment as long as there’s space to work.
Do you need power or water?
No. We bring our own power and water supply if needed.
Can you restore only one headlight?
Yes, but for the best match and visual symmetry, we recommend restoring both. Pricing for a single headlight is available upon request.
Is the UV protection included?
Yes, every restoration includes a UV-resistant sealant or ceramic coating to slow down future yellowing.
