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 Richmond Hill 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 Crosby 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 Richmond Hill, tell us the make and model, and send a photo of the lenses and we will say what is realistic.

Richmond Hill is mostly detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, with townhouse complexes and condo towers clustered along Yonge Street and Highway 7, so we usually set up in a driveway and also work in underground garages.
Winter salt and slush from Yonge Street, Highway 7 and the 404 build up on lower panels, and cold snaps freeze grime onto the paint. Spring pollen from mature trees and dust from ongoing development coat cars quickly.
Richmond Hill streets are busy at rush hour, and a drive to a shop on the 404 or Yonge Street takes time. A mobile detailer works at your driveway, garage or office and fits around the commute.
