Anyone can attempt to restore their own headlights. In fact, it is this exact ambition that started our business over 5 years ago.
Originally, when we started, our process was a bit unrefined. We purchased and picked apart every headlight restoration kit we could find and watched hours of tutorial videos online.
We found that removing oxidation was fairly simple; but doing so without damaging the lens took some practice. It did not take long for us to discover that the key to a lasting restoration took more than just resurfacing (a.k.a. sanding and buffing). The longevity of the restoration was defined by the quality of the UV protective coating.
We used every lens coating we could find or create from urethanes and epoxies to high dollar coatings such as opti-lens. Years later, after thousands of hours of research and development, we were able to perfect our own, proprietary, hardened and permanent UV coating which produces stunningly clear and long lasting results.
