Headlight Restoration in Jacksonville
Clearing yellowed, hazy headlight lenses and sealing against UV.
Polycarbonate headlight lenses have a factory UV coating that eventually fails. In Florida it fails faster, and the result is the yellow, cloudy look you see on a huge number of ten-year-old cars in Jacksonville parking lots.
Beyond appearance, it is a safety issue: hazy lenses scatter light and reduce nighttime output noticeably.
The process
Wet sanding in progressive grits to remove the failed coating and oxidized plastic, machine polishing to restore optical clarity, then a UV-stable sealant or coating on top.
Why the sealing step matters
Polishing alone looks great for a few months, then the bare plastic yellows again quickly under Florida sun. The protective layer is what makes the repair last.
When lenses cannot be saved
Internal moisture, cracked lenses or delaminated internal reflectors are replacement cases. We inspect first and tell you honestly.
What this includes
- Progressive wet sanding and polishing
- UV-stable protective coating applied
- Noticeable improvement in night visibility
- Both lenses always done together
- Inspection for internal moisture or damage
