Our headlight restoration process
- Inspect & tape — assess oxidation depth and protect surrounding paint, trim, and seals.
- Sand — progressive wet-sand passes (coarse to fine grit) cut through yellowed UV haze and surface oxidation.
- Polish — buffing compounds restore optical clarity and factory transparency.
- Seal — a UV-resistant clear coat locks in the finish and slows re-oxidation.
Why restore instead of replace?
Headlight replacement can run $400–$1,500+ per pair at a dealer. Restoration
delivers the same clarity for a fraction of the cost, in a single visit, and
improves night-driving safety by restoring beam clarity and light output.
Vehicles we service
Sedans, SUVs, trucks, coupes, minivans, classics, daily drivers, and fleet vehicles.
Service area
Glen Allen, Short Pump, Innsbrook, Henrico, Richmond, Mechanicsville, Laurel,
and Tuckahoe, Virginia. By appointment.
Frequently asked questions
How long does headlight restoration take?
Most single-pair restorations take about 60 minutes from start to finish, including the UV sealant cure.
Why not just replace the headlights?
Replacement assemblies can run $400 to $1,500+ per pair at a dealer, plus labor. Restoration costs a fraction and delivers the same factory clarity in one visit.
How long does the result last?
With a proper UV sealant applied as the final step, restored headlights stay clear for many months. Lifespan varies based on sun exposure, parking conditions, and wash habits.
Will this work on badly yellowed or cloudy lenses?
Yes. Multi-stage wet sanding cuts through deep oxidation and UV haze. If a lens has internal damage or cracks, those cannot be polished out — but surface yellowing always can.
What does headlight restoration cost?
Pricing starts at $79 and depends on lens size, oxidation severity, and vehicle. Call or text (804) 869-1965 for a quick, no-pressure quote.
