Mobile Headlight Restoration FAQs
DO YOU COME TO ME?
Yes, we’re a mobile service. We come to our client’s home, apartment, or work location. We look to make your experience with us as convenient as possible.
HOW LONG DOES THIS SERVICE TAKE?
With the condition of the headlights, it should take between 1 hour to 2 hours.
DOES THE CLOUDY APPEARANCE COME FROM THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT LENS COVER?
This will only occur with a very small percent of cloudy headlights where the cloudy appearance is actually coming from the inside of the headlight lens. This is a misconception most clients have but, in fact, almost all cloudy headlights are a result of oxidation on the outside of the headlights. However, condensation can build up on the inside of the lens cover from water because of a cracked headlight or faulty seal. In most cases, the heat from the headlamp usually helps dissipate the moisture through the vents. If your headlights are cracked you will need to replace the entire headlight assembly.
CAN THIS RESTORATION PROCESS DAMAGE MY HEADLIGHT AND MY CAR?
We will be manually sanding the oxidation off from the headlight lens, which actually stripping off the damaged top layer. Most headlight lenses are made of polycarbonate material that is 1/8” to 1/4" thick. In our restoration method, we will only be removing a small fraction, less than 1/38” in most cases, from the overall headlight lens thickness.
