Not Sure If Yours Can Be Saved?

Try the 30-second water test.

Spray it. If it clears, we can fix it.

Spray the lens with a hose or spray bottle and look at it while it's wet. If the haze clears up and the plastic looks glassy again, that's a great sign — the damage is on the surface, and wet-sanding and polishing will bring it back to like-new. If it stays cloudy even soaking wet, the oxidation has likely gone deeper into the lens, and polishing alone won't get you all the way there — though it usually still helps.

Not sure what you're looking at? Take our quick service quiz or send us a photo and we'll tell you honestly whether restoration is the right fix.

This is the kind of UV oxidation the water test above is built for.

Built To Last

Why our headlight restoration McHenry service holds up.

Full wet-sanding, not a quick buff

We remove the oxidized layer completely instead of masking it, so the clarity actually lasts.

UV-resistant sealant

Most restorations cloud back up in months because the sealant doesn't actually block UV. Ours does.

Backed by a lifetime guarantee

If it clouds again, we make it right for as long as you own the vehicle — no fine print.

The Price

One flat price, no surprises.

Backed by a Lifetime Guarantee

Most headlight restorations look great for a few months, then cloud right back up — because the sealant used doesn't actually block UV. Ours does. If your restored headlights cloud again, we make it right for as long as you own the vehicle.
