Frequently Asked Questions
How does plastic headlight restoration differ from replacement?
Professional restoration removes surface oxidation and UV damage through precision polishing and sealing, preserving factory alignment and saving significant cost compared to headlight assembly replacement.
What causes headlight lenses to turn yellow and cloudy?
Polycarbonate lenses degrade from Queensland's intense UV radiation, salt air exposure, sand abrasion, and chemical contamination, creating microscopic cracks that scatter light and reduce brightness.
Will restored headlights pass roadworthy inspections?
Yes, our restoration process removes discolouration and haze, restoring optical clarity to meet Australian Design Rules and state roadworthy requirements for light transmission.
What protective coatings are applied after restoration?
We apply UV-resistant sealants specifically formulated for automotive polycarbonate, providing hydrophobic properties and long-term protection against yellowing and environmental damage.
Can restoration fix scratches and stone chips on headlights?
Surface-level scratches and light pitting are removed during the polishing process, while deeper damage is minimised through precision levelling techniques that restore lens clarity.
Can restoration improve headlight brightness significantly?
Professional restoration typically increases light output by 50-70%, dramatically improving night visibility and safety while restoring the original lens appearance and clarity.
