Can I polish my headlights myself?

The best thing you can do on your own is to keep the wax on your headlights to avoid fading. Once eroded and hazy, it is better left to a specialist to ensure the best job. We often get jobs with the famous do-it-yourself headlight restore packages that others have tried to polish themselves. Usually, they appear worse than they did when they began, or the results last only a few months.

Does Toothpaste work to polish car headlights?

Urban myths begin insanely and the myth of “toothpaste to polish headlights” is a viral one. Sure, go on and attempt. You’re going to have new minty-fresh headlights! But don’t care, we’re no longer going to charge you extra to right your unsuccessful effort (but we could tease you a little!)

Headlight Polishing

Headlight restoration services are vital for when your headlights become hazy. A vast majority of automakers now install polycarbonate headlight lenses on their vehicles. Most aftermarket headlight kits are made from polycarbonate as well. This material is much lighter than traditional glass. Polycarbonate lenses are far clearer most of the time, and they won’t shatter in an accident. Traditional glass lenses often break apart when exposed to mechanical stress.

These lenses can still become damaged over several years on the road. Detergents and waxes used to keep a car’s body shining can actually cause the lenses to look hazy. Environmental factors like sunlight and even exposure to pollution will help to speed up this process. While polycarbonate headlights don’t contain any metallic substances, oxidation is still a factor as well.

Eventually, the lenses look foggy, which can be very dangerous when driving at night. No matter how strong your bulbs are, ultimately light has to pass through those lenses on the way out of the headlight assembly. This foggy appearance blocks a portion of the light coming out. The fog can eventually get so bad that it cuts the strength of your headlights by more than a third. You’ll ultimately see less at night than you would with clear lenses. Some lenses become almost completely opaque in extreme cases.

Some drivers opt for new headlights instead of choosing to restore headlights. This might sound like a good idea from a safety standpoint, but it can end up costing you much more than it needs to. You can’t simply replace the lenses on most cars, but instead, you must replace the entire headlight assembly. This adds quite a bit onto the cost of what could have been a simple headlight restoration job.

Several companies sell DIY headlight restoration kits. These are a decent idea, and they might work for a while. There is, however, a risk that you might accidentally remove too much material from your lenses and ruin them in the process. You could also accidentally scuff the paint around the headlights in the process. Headlight restoration kits aren’t as effective at cleaning lenses as professionals either, which means in a few months you might be back to where you started. You’d have to do everything all over again.

Professional headlight restoration specialists here at The Car Salon can do the job without damage to the lenses or the body. Specialists will properly apply a coat of UV blocking sealant to both sides of the lenses to keep them looking clear and shiny for quite some time. Professionals also always guarantee their work, so if something goes wrong you’re not on the hook for it. If you did it yourself, then you could be stuck paying for any mistakes yourself.

Headlight Rejuvenation

Headlight covers can cloud, oxidize & become yellow over time. This will significantly reduce the headlight beam reducing visibility in the dusk, dawn and evening hours. This makes it unsafe to drive at night and reduces the visibility of your vehicle. The Car Salon experts will rejuvenate your headlights, repair paint scratches, repair bumper scuffs at prices you can afford using processes and products from DuPont – A Name You Can Trust.
