WHAT IS HEADLIGHT
PLASTIC LENS RESTORATION ?
Headlight restoration, repair,
reconditioning or resurfacing, is the act of refinishing aged
headlights that have succumbed to headlamp oxidation and other
environmental hazards of travel, weather, and exposure to caustic
chemicals
This condition which results in cloudy lenses is known for
causing reduced night time visibility for travelers as the condition
becomes worse.
The best solution is to resurface the lens by lightly
sanding the affected surface with different grades or grits of
finished dry paper until the oxidation is removed.
Next steps includes finishing with wet paper smoothing and
applying a protective finishing coat to re-seal the surface of the
restored headlight. Without proper care and maintenance, plastic
headlight lenses result in cloudy foggy headlights.
After as little as two or three years on the road, depending
on conditions they become so "cloudy" that they actually output less
light than is needed to legally do their job. The problem affects
virtually every make of car and truck, foreign or domestic.
