Headlight Restoration



Your car's 'eyes', the headlights, are continuously affected by a whole bunch of destructive factors that eventually result in cloudy headlights look. Dirt and road debris may often scratch and dent plastic headlight lenses, while constant exposure to the sun causes considerable lens discoloration. Apart from being a cosmetic issue, the problem of clouded headlight lenses may also seriously threaten your driving safety, compromising the visibility at night.

Modern headlights are manufactured from polycarbonate and are coated with specialized primers and sealers. Over time and under the influence of many factors, this coating tends to deteriorate and cause aging, yellowing, and haziness. If clouded headlights are becoming a serious problem, there is a more cost-effective solution than headlight replacement. Clearing your headlights with the help of easy-to-use headlight restoration kits is an inexpensive and effective way of dealing with even junkyard-ready headlight covers. Headlight restoration kits can restore the factory protective coating to its original condition.

A variety of headlight cleaners and restoration kits available on the market is immense, all products vary in price, effectiveness, and convenience of use. However, what they have in common is that most headlight cleaners and restoration kits are easy to use and come with a very tempting price tag. Light oxidation and discoloring can be coped with using one step headlight cleaners that use precision compounds to improve the overall visibility and protect your headlights against future oxidation. Applying headlight protectant will prolong the clarity, while the plastic polish will add a crystal clear look to your headlights.

Headlight restoration kits are designed for a complex restoring action of removing the old coating and replacing it with the new one. A typical restoration kit includes rubber gloves, sandpaper or sandpaper pads for use on severely oxidized surfaces, lens polish, microfiber towels and buffing drill mounts (foam bristles) that can be used with any power drill and ensure outstanding buffing action with no need of tiresome manual work. Smaller two piece restoration kits do not require any abrasives or buffing wheels, featuring a set of cleaning and polishing wipes with micro polishing compound to loosen and remove dirt and grime.

Mother's NuLens
I had to replace the whole headlight assembly for our 97 Buick LaSabre with one from a wrecking yard. I was scratched, yellowed and pitted. I used Mother's NuLens and followed the steps on the instructions and I still have some work to do but at least I can now see the headlight reflector really clear and the other side needs a good buffing as well. I give this product a 5 star rating. I would, however like to be able to go to the auto parts store where I bought the product and buy replacement sanding pads in the various superfine grits with the velcro backing.

Love This
Have 2 '97 Ford both sets of headlights yellowing, tried Mother's and OMG we have decent headlights again. Now mind you, not as bright as newer cars headlights. Still made a big difference.
