What are modern headlamps even made of? Why not glass?

Originally, headlights were made of glass, which could easily crack or break. But now, car makers use a tough kind of plastic called polycarbonate. It's strong and less likely to shatter. However, this plastic can get dirty easily. So, a protective film is added to keep it clean and make it last longer. But over time, this film starts to wear off. Headlights face a lot of challenges, like the heat from the bulbs, sunlight, and stuff from the road. This makes them look foggy or yellowed.

Why should I get my car's headlamps cleaned, resurfaced and sealed?

What does this process involve?

Headlight restoration involves rejuvenating and enhancing the performance of a vehicle's headlights. It involves several steps. First, we'll thoroughly clean the headlights to remove any dirt and grime. Next, we'll sand the surface in multiple steps to eliminate the outer layer of oxidation and imperfections.

After that, a polishing compound is applied to further refine the lenses. Finally, we add many layers of protective sealant to safeguard against future damage and maintain the restored clarity. This procedure not only improves the aesthetics of your headlights but also ensures better visibility on the road.
