Headlight restoration at Delicate Details in Lubbock, TX is $95 for a pair. That covers condition-appropriate wet sanding, compounding, polishing, and a UV protective sealant intended to slow renewed oxidation. We confirm timing after inspecting the lenses, and the service can be scheduled with another detail.
Cloudy, yellowed headlights are a West Texas signature — 260+ days of UV bakes polycarbonate lenses hazy. We sand, polish, and seal them back to clear.
Headlight lenses leave the factory with a UV-protective coating. Lubbock sun burns through it in a few years, and once it's gone the polycarbonate underneath oxidizes — that's the yellow haze no cleaner will touch, and it can cut your usable light output dramatically at night. Our restoration process removes the failed layer entirely: progressive wet sanding to level the oxidation, machine polishing back to optical clarity, and a UV sealant so the clock restarts instead of re-yellowing in six months — that last step is the one the parking-lot kits skip, and it's why their results die fast. Pair it with a ceramic coating on the lenses for the longest-lasting version of clear.
Interior extraction, steam, decontamination wash — the same process our vehicle details are known for, adapted to the platform.
Machine polishing for oxidized, sun-faded, and swirled surfaces — brought back under proper lighting.
Professional CarPro coatings for long-term UV, water, and contamination protection — quoted by surface area.
Specialty work is quoted after we see the vehicle — size, condition, and access all matter. Call and we'll talk through it.
Honest check first: If the haze is on the inside of the lens (condensation or interior fogging), restoration won't fix it and we'll tell you straight instead of taking the job.
We inspect the lens first. When exterior oxidation is suitable for restoration, we use progressively finer wet-sanding steps, then compound and polish the lens before applying a UV sealant intended to slow renewed oxidation. Timing depends on lens condition, previous repairs, and the approved scope.
Headlight restoration is $95 for a pair of headlights. That includes wet sanding, compound, polish, and a UV protective sealant. Add-on with any detail service and we can work on them simultaneously.
There is no single guaranteed lifespan. The UV sealant is intended to slow renewed oxidation, but results vary with sun exposure, outdoor storage, lens condition, washing, and maintenance.
Yes. Restoration removes the damaged surface layer, but the lens can oxidize again as it is exposed to UV and weather. The sealant applied after polishing is intended to slow that process; longevity varies with exposure, storage, washing, and maintenance.
Hazy or yellowed lenses can scatter and block some light, reducing usable illumination at night. Restoration can improve lens clarity, but cracked, damaged, or internally hazed assemblies may need replacement.
