Yellow, foggy headlights are more than ugly.
Yellow, foggy headlights are more than ugly. The plastic lens has lost its factory UV coating, and the oxidized surface scatters light so the beam is dimmer on dark roads. Many drivers in Etobicoke notice it first at night, or when a safety inspection flags the lenses. Restoring them brings clarity back and helps the front of the car look years newer.
The process is hands-on. We tape off the surrounding paint, then wet sand the lens through progressively finer grits to remove the damaged layer. Next comes machine polishing to bring clarity back, followed by a fresh UV-resistant clear coat or sealant. That final step matters, because without it the lens will cloud again within months.
Restoration works on oxidation, haze and light yellowing. It cannot fix cracks, moisture trapped inside the housing or damage to the reflector behind the glass. If you live around The Queensway and park outside under sun all summer, the lenses tend to degrade faster, so restoring them sooner makes more sense than waiting until they are badly clouded.
Most pairs take around an hour or two, and we do it where the car is parked. Afterward, keep the lenses protected with a sealant or coating and avoid harsh chemicals. Call or text from Etobicoke, tell us the make and model, and send a photo of the lenses and we will say what is realistic.

Etobicoke blends high-rise condo towers along the Humber Bay Shores waterfront with detached and semi-detached homes with driveways in Islington, Kingsway and Long Branch, plus townhouse and apartment complexes in Rexdale and along Kipling, so we set up in a driveway, visitor lot or garage as needed.
Lake Ontario brings damp air and winter spray, and road salt from the Gardiner, QEW and 427 coats lower panels and wheel wells through the cold months. Spring pollen and construction dust from ongoing condo development along the waterfront settle on paint.
Getting from Etobicoke to a downtown shop means the Gardiner at rush hour, and nearby shops can have long waits. A mobile detailer works in your driveway or condo garage and saves the trip.
We regularly work in The Queensway, The Elms and Humber Heights, and every other part of Etobicoke.
