What exactly is included in your headlight restoration service?

Our premium service includes taping off the paint, multi-stage wet sanding to safely remove the oxidized plastic, machine polishing to restore optical clarity, and a permanent ceramic UV coating to protect the lens.

Why do my headlights get yellow and foggy in the first place?

Modern headlights are made of polycarbonate plastic. Over time, the sun's UV rays break down the factory clear coat, causing the plastic underneath to oxidize, turn yellow, and develop micro-cracks.

How long does the headlight restoration process take?

Because we utilize a thorough wet-sanding and coating process rather than a quick wipe-on fix, a professional restoration typically takes between 1 to 2 hours for the pair.

Is this a permanent fix, or will they turn yellow again?

Unlike cheap DIY kits, our Complete Headlight Restoration Package includes the application of a professional ceramic UV coating that provides years of durable protection against fading and re-oxidation.

Do I have to buy new headlights instead of restoring them?

No! Buying brand new OEM headlight housings can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Our restoration service brings your existing lenses back to factory clarity for a fraction of the cost.

Can you perform a headlight restoration service at my house?

Yes! While we offer this service at our controlled facility in Nottingham, NH, our fully equipped mobile detailing units can easily perform a complete headlight restoration right at your driveway or workplace.

Professional Headlight

The Ultimate Reset

Restoration Service

New England Auto Spa provides a professional headlight restoration service, utilizing advanced wet-sanding and UV-coating techniques to permanently remove yellowing, oxidation, and fog from your lenses. Led by Lucas Pitkin since 2011, our expert team ensures your headlights look brand new, delivering guaranteed clarity and safer driving.

Why Your Vehicle Needs a Professional Headlight Restoration Service

Over time, the sun's harsh UV rays, road debris, and harsh New Hampshire winters degrade the factory protective coating on your headlights. This causes the polycarbonate plastic to become cloudy, yellow, and heavily oxidized, severely reducing your nighttime visibility and making your vehicle look years older than it is. Over-the-counter wipe-on kits only offer a temporary, greasy fix that washes away in weeks.

New England Auto Spa’s headlight restoration service is the permanent, professional solution. Built on our core principles of superior quality, an exceptional customer experience, and industry innovation, we don't just polish the surface. We physically remove the dead, oxidized plastic and apply a durable, long-lasting UV clear coat, restoring your headlights to factory-like clarity and maximizing your safety on the road.

Our Headlight Restoration Process: Engineered for Perfect Clarity

01 Tape Off & Surface Preparation

We start by meticulously taping off the surrounding paint and trim to protect your clear coat, followed by a thorough cleaning of the headlight lens to remove loose surface dirt and bug splatter.

02 Multi-Stage Wet Sanding & Polishing

We perform a rigorous, multi-stage wet sanding process to physically strip away the dead, yellowed plastic layer. We follow this with machine compounding and polishing to restore the lens to a glass-like optical clarity.

03 Permanent UV Ceramic Coating

We lock in the crystal-clear results by applying a professional-grade ceramic UV coating. This prevents future yellowing and oxidation, accompanied by a rigorous final quality check to meet our standard in auto care.
