Headlight Restoration

Posted on August 9, 2010 at 6:43 PM

Over time, headlights will become faded and will in turn make them not shine as bright as the should. This is an easy fix and takes aproximatetly 20 minutes per headlight. I would like to walk you through my Headlight Restoration Process step by step.

  1. First I will degrease the headlight. This will leave a clean surface for me to work on, helping to improve the overall results.
  2. Next I will sand the headlight using a two step process. I will first use a heavier cutting sand paper to remove the heavier build-up and oxidation. After this, I will use a lighter cutting sanding paper to finish my sanding process.
  3. Next I will machine compound the headlight to remove the larger scratches and set up the final polishing step
  4. After the headlight has been sanded and compounded, I will machine polish the headlight to remove all of the smaller scratches and leave a flawless finish
  5. Finally, I will seal the headlight to help prevent any further damage. This is a two phase process and will leave the ultimate protection.

*It is important to note that some damage to plastics is not reversable, and the plastic will have to be replaced. I will notify you of this when I give you your estimate.
