​Which Payment Methods Do You Accept?

We accept cash and bank transfer.

What is your headlight restoration procedure?

​We start off by protecting the paintwork by going around the headlight using masking tape. 
Next, we remove any debris and dirt using Isopropyl Alcohol alongside a microfibre towel.
Next, we begin sanding the headlights either by hand or by using a drill depending on how badly faded the headlight is. Moving up to finer sandpaper each time to remove scratches from the headlight.
Once evenly sanded, we move onto the machine polishing stage to bring back to beautiful shine and clarity.
We finish off by applying a thick layer of ceramic coating for long-term protection. This will usually take 1 hour but can be as long as 2.5 hours depending on how badly worn the headlights are. The aim for us is to achieve better results over finishing the job faster.

Why does my headlight get so yellow and ugly? 

Plastic headlights naturally fade over time due to oxidisation and UV light causing discolouration and fading.

Why should I get my headlight restored when I can buy new headlights?

You can buy new headlights if you do not wish to get your headlights restored. However, there is a massive difference in cost. The price of new headlights could be as expensive as 25x the cost of a restoration. Restoring and maintaining your headlights will keep them clear for longer at a fraction of the cost of new headlights.

Are you a mobile service?

We are based in North Wembley and you can come to me or I can also come and carry out the work at your home or place of work. We carry out the headlight restoration where it is most comfortable for you.

Why should I get my headlights restored?

Cloudy, yellow, and hazy oxidised headlights make your vehicle look bad and lower the value of your vehicle. With oxidised headlights, you will struggle to see during nighttime driving which increases the likelihood of getting involved in an accident. Oxidised headlights are also an MOT failure which can be avoided with restoration over buying new headlights. It is also much cheaper to get your headlights restored compared to buying brand-new replacement headlights.

How much do you charge?

We aim to reply with a quote within 15 minutes during sociable hours.
In order for us to give you an accurate quote, please send us a photo of each headlight requiring restoration as well as your post code (or let us know if you can come to us in North Wembley).

Do you repair cracked lenses?

Unfortunately, this is not something that we do. This might be a possibility in the future but for now, we do not provide this service. We do not provide the following services: cracked lens repair, condensated headlights, tint headlights, windscreen repairs, or headlight installations.
