Headlamp Restoration - Clouded Plastic Headlights

Plastic surfaces are great for giving vehicles lightweight, durable components – from plastic headlight lenses to motorcycle windshields, plastic tail lights, trailers and more. But these plastic components can yellow and haze with weather, sun and sand therefore limiting visibility and diminishing the appearance and value of the vehicle.

While the impact on a vehicle's value varies, the dangers in terms of limited visibility are clear: It is a factor in 2.8 million accidents, 23,000 fatal crashes and 2,300 pedestrian deaths each year, according to the Motor Vehicle Lighting Council. Dim headlight bulbs and hazy plastic headlight lenses or surfaces may lead to this reduced visibility, putting you, your passengers and other cars at risk. The AAIA(*Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association) Car Care Council found that 26 percent of the cars it inspected had issues with their lighting system.

Millions of cars on the road today have plastic headlight lenses. The problem increases with the age of the lens, and with the average age of cars on the road about 10 years old, the problem is growing. Yet there is something we can do about it.

We use a 3M Headlight Restoration System to shine and restore plastic lenses to like-new condition.
