Also urgent if night driving feels dim or you've been advised of an MOT advisory for headlight clarity. The earlier we catch it, the less aggressive the sanding needs to be. ### Why use a professional Polycarbonate headlight lenses have a factory UV coating. DIY kits sand off the oxidation but don't replace the UV coating, so the lenses re-yellow within 6–12 months. Our process includes a proper UV-resistant sealant, the restoration holds for 3–5 years. ## Hazy Headlights Aren't Just Ugly, They're a Safety Issue Yellowed headlights cut light output by up to 70% and scatter the beam pattern. That's a real safety problem at night and a real MOT problem at test time. ### What happens if you leave it - • Light output drop of 40–70% from a fully yellowed lens, directly impacts night visibility and stopping distance - • MOT advisories and outright failures for poor headlight clarity - • Trade-in value drop of £150–£400, yellowed lenses make any car look tired and unloved - • Lease-return charges typically £75–£150 per fogged lens - • DIY kits work for 6 months then yellow again, often worse than the original ### Mistakes we see every week - • Using a DIY kit without UV sealant, lenses yellow again within a year - • Polishing the outside with cutting compound only, works for a week, oxidation returns - • Buying replacement headlight units for £400–£900 each when restoration is £80–£140 - • Trying to scrub off yellowing with abrasive household cleaners (scratches the lens permanently) - • Leaving yellowed headlights through an MOT and getting hit with a fail and re-test fee ## Our Headlight Restoration Process A repeatable system that removes guesswork and delivers a finish that looks factory, every single job. STEP 1 ### Visual Quote Send a daylight photo of the headlights. Most pairs quoted at £80–£120 from photos in seconds. STEP 2 ### Mobile Set-Up Headlight area masked off, surrounding paint protected with tape and plastic sheeting. STEP 3 ### Progressive Wet-Sand Three stages of wet-sanding from 800 to 3000 grit remove the oxidised layer and prepare the surface. STEP 4 ### Compound & Polish Cutting compound and polish bring back full optical clarity. Lens looks brand new. STEP 5 ### UV Sealant Coating A long-life UV-resistant clear coat is applied and cured, the critical step that DIY kits skip. 3–5 year hold. ## What You Get With Hi-Tek ### Genuinely like new Full optical clarity restored, light output back to 95–100% of factory. ### Done in 60 minutes Pair of headlights restored in under an hour on your driveway. ### Pair from £80 Single headlight from £55. Pair from £80. Includes UV sealant, no hidden upsells. ### 3–5 year UV protection Long-life UV coating included, restoration holds for years, not months. ### MOT-safe finish Restored lenses pass MOT light-clarity inspection comfortably. ### Fraction of replacement cost Restoration £80–£120 per pair. Replacement headlights £400–£900+ each, plus fitting. ## Headlight Restoration That Actually Lasts Most headlight restoration jobs fail because they skip the UV seal at the end. Here's the full process and what makes ours different. ### Materials Wet-sand paper from 800 grit through 1500, 2000 and 3000 grit; automotive cutting compound and finishing polish; a proper UV-resistant headlight sealant (cured rather than wiped on), the same chemistry as the original factory coating. ### Method Surrounding area masked, lens wet-sanded progressively to remove the oxidised top layer entirely, machine-polished back to full optical clarity, then sealed with cured UV coating. The cure step is what makes the difference between a 6-month and a 5-year result. ### Variations Standard pair restoration (most cars), heavily oxidised severe-case restoration (additional sanding stage), single-lens restoration (insurance replacement matching), pre-MOT clarity work, and pre-sale prep with full polish blend. ### Situations it applies to Cars 5+ years old, vehicles parked outdoors most of the time, MOT-advisory or fail cases, pre-sale prep, lease return prep, and night-driving safety concerns from owners who notice reduced light output. ### When replacement is the better call Internal lens condensation, cracked lens glass, scored lenses from previous botched DIY attempts, or lenses with internal silvering damage. We'll tell you straight, restoration won't fix those, and replacement is the right answer. ## Headlight Restoration, Frequently Asked Questions How much does headlight restoration cost in Bracknell?+ Single headlight from £55.
