Headlight Restoration Asheville

What This Service Covers

Headlight restoration removes oxidation, yellowing, and surface haze from plastic headlight lenses using a multi-stage process right here in Asheville. We use specific sanding and polishing steps followed by a UV-resistant finishing layer. The goal is to recover optical clarity and a factory-like look without replacing the entire headlight assembly.

When You Might Need It

You should consider this service when headlights look cloudy, appear dull in daylight, or throw weak and scattered light on the road at night. If you notice reduced forward visibility in rain, a faded front-end appearance, or if your vehicle is getting ready for sale or inspection, restoration is a practical fix before lens deterioration worsens.

Why It Is Worth Doing

Clear headlights improve driving safety by directing more usable light where you need it, helping reaction time on dark roads and in poor weather. Restoration also updates the look of the entire front end, supports resale presentation, and can delay the cost of full headlight replacement while preserving the original components.

Our Process

1. Clean & Prep: We thoroughly clean the lens and tape off surrounding paint to protect it.
2. Wet Sanding: We remove the dead, oxidized layer using multiple stages of sandpaper.
3. Polishing: We compound and polish the lens back to crystal clarity.
4. Protection: We apply a UV-resistant ceramic coating to prevent future fading.
