The main reasons for this are:
Oxidation from UV Light, Ultraviolet (UV) rays, and heat from the sun cause the lens to develop micro-cracks, which causes them to oxidize and turn slightly yellow. Damage from Road Debris, being at the front of your car near the ground, headlights take the brunt of the damage when small rocks and road debris strike them. This creates dents and pits that mar the once-smooth surface, contributing to the development of cloudiness.
Dirt and chemical buildup: road, dirt, and mud constantly coat the lens during winter, and salt and road de-icing can build up, causing a cloudy film. Even if the car is washed regularly this buildup can still happen over time.
Acid Rain and Chemicals in the Atmosphere: chemical pollutants in the air react with water vapor and oxidants, resulting in sulfuric and nitric acids. These acids fall to Earth in rain or snow. These pollutants can cause damage to car finishes and headlights. Acid rain can also break down polycarbonates in auto and headlight finishes, and create cloudiness and blotches.
WHAT IS HEADLIGHT "CRAZING" ? "Crazing" is a condition that produces an area of fine cracks or sparkles WITHIN the plastic lens itself. It’s usually only visible when the headlight is on or viewed at an angle in daylight. It is caused by the plastic in the headlight breaking down over time. In most cases IT CAN NOT BE FIXED, as it’s in the plastic lens itself. I can certainly try to eliminate it. As a general rule, if it’s in the lens, it CAN NOT BE FIXED.
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
We accept cash, credit cards, Zelle, Cash app. We can take personal checks from a reputable bank, but I don’t prefer it.
DO YOU GUARANTEE MY HEADLIGHTS WILL LOOK LIKE NEW WITH YOUR HEADLIGHT RESTORATION SERVICE ?
In most cases, I can guarantee that my service will make your headlights look like new again. As you can imagine, unfortunately some headlights are to worn and damaged to bring back to like-new condition. You can only work with what you are giving.
No, I do not replace headlights or perform mechanical repairs. I am NOT a licensed auto mechanic. I don’t want to be responsible for damaging the lights (or something else) on your vehicle.
No. Removing the headlights increases the risk of damaging them, as well as changing their focus position. I do NOT provide auto mechanic services, and I am NOT qualified to do this.
I usually need about 1-2 hours to perform my restoration services depending on the level of restoration required, it may require more or less time.
In addition, the UV coating that I apply will need 24 hours to completely cure. You can drive your car as normal, right after I’m done with the service; however, it is recommended that the car is NOT washed during the 24-hour curing process.
Our headlight restorations last 1-4 years. It depends on weather conditions, rain & how much sun exposure your vehicle gets. Longevity also depends on where the vehicle is kept, indoors or outdoors. Also how well you maintain your vehicle, how often you drive your vehicle, the age of headlights, etc. Note : all headlights are not created equal. Some lights are made better than others. As part of our service, we include a free instructional after care plan for your headlight 😉
No. Clear headlight Restorations is a mobile service company. I come to you, which is more convenient. Your home is the most convenient location to perform the restoration service; however, I can certainly provide it at your work location, as long as there aren’t any rules or ordinances making it illegal. This is for safety reasons.
I am currently serving Fort Pierce, Port Saint lucie, Jensen Beach, Rio, North River Shores, Stuart, Sewell's Point, Palm City, Port Salerno, and Hobe Sound.
