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 North York 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 Newtonbrook West 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 North York, tell us the make and model, and send a photo of the lenses and we will say what is realistic.

North York combines condo towers along the Yonge corridor with underground garages, rows of detached and semi-detached homes with driveways in Willowdale, Don Mills and Bayview, and many townhouse complexes, so we adapt to a driveway, a visitor stall or a garage level.
Salt and slush spray up from the 401 and Allen Road through winter, coating lower panels and rocker areas with a stubborn grey film. Spring pollen from the mature trees in neighbourhoods like Willowdale settles on paint, and construction dust follows the many condo builds.
Crossing North York to reach a shop means sitting on the 401 or Yonge Street, and many condo owners have no practical place to wash a car. Mobile detailing comes to your driveway, garage or workplace and removes the drive and the wait.
We regularly work in Newtonbrook West, Don Mills and Brookbanks, and every other part of North York.
