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 Scarborough 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 Guildwood 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 Scarborough, tell us the make and model, and send a photo of the lenses and we will say what is realistic.

Scarborough has plenty of detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, plus townhouse complexes and a growing number of condo and apartment towers around Scarborough Town Centre and along Kennedy and Eglinton, so we are comfortable setting up in a driveway, a visitor lot or an underground garage.
Winter salt and slush on the 401, Kingston Road and Lawrence Avenue East leave heavy residue on lower panels and in carpets. Cars parked near the lake along the Bluffs deal with damp air and spring pollen from the many mature trees.
A drive from Scarborough to a downtown shop can mean an hour or more each way on the 401 or DVP. Mobile detailing saves that trip and works well with the many driveways in the area.
We regularly work in Guildwood, Milliken and Eglinton East, and every other part of Scarborough.
