Great video from my shop in Lafayette showing a headlight restoration with the equipment used... Flat rate $150 for both headlights.
Why DIY Headlight Restoration Kits Always Fail
Most over-the-counter headlight restoration kits only wipe a temporary chemical over the lens. Within a few months, the oxidation returns worse than before. A professional restoration requires a multi-stage sanding process to completely strip away the damaged, cloudy factory clear coat before applying lasting protection.
Our Professional Multi-Step Restoration Process
We don't take shortcuts with your safety or your vehicle's appearance. Every headlight service at our Lafayette shop follows a meticulous process:
Precision Masking: We heavily tape off all surrounding paint and trim panels to guarantee zero damage from our equipment.
Polish and Wet Sanding: We use Flex Buffers and a sequence of increasingly fine sandpaper grits (if necessary) to level heavy oxidation, deep scratches, and pitting.
UV Protection Coating: We seal the fresh lens with a dedicated UV-blocking ceramic layer (Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra) so your headlights stay crystal clear for years.
Crystal Clear Results for a Flat rate of $150
Hazy lenses severely cut down your visibility at night, making driving dangerous. Replacing factory headlight assemblies can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars depending on your vehicle. For a flat rate of $150, we restore both headlights back to a factory-fresh appearance with durable protection. Watch the video below to see our exact process and equipment in action!
