Headlight Restoration

Why Do I Need Headlight Restoration Services?

Back in the day, headlights were made of thick glass. This was replaced overtime with polycarbonate plastic. In both instances however, regular driving would expose the headlights to friction and debris carried by dust, which would dull and mar the refractive lens. Sunlight exposure also plays a role in the deterioration of modern polycarbonate headlights. Overtime, it would dull its surface and affect the clarity of the projected light. 

While older glass variants held up longer against scratches, they tended to be heavy and prone to breakage. The modern polycarbonate variants tend to break less, but are easier to scratch and mar. Both types, however, can benefit from headlight cleaning. 

Headlight polishing, which is generally what ‘cleaning’ a scratched-up headlight curtails, ensures the following: 

• greater clarity of light – headlights are meant to be spotless, so as to enable it to throw light as clearly as possible to ensure proper illumination. A well-maintained headlight ensures this. 
• wider beam of light – which allows for greater visibility during nighttime, as well as during inclement weather. 

Both instances ultimately make your overall driving experience safer in the long-run. Headlight polishing may cost you a small sum, but that’s still better than risking life and limb on a road accident caused by foggy lights.
