DIY vs. Pro
Why DIY Kits Don’t Last
Store-bought headlight restoration kits might promise quick results, but they often provide only a temporary fix. These kits usually focus on shining the surface rather than removing the actual damage underneath. Here’s why they fall short:
1. They Don’t Remove Deep Oxidation
Most kits rely on mild abrasives or wipes that only polish the top layer. True restoration requires sanding down multiple layers of damaged plastic to reach clean, clear material underneath, and this is definitely something you can’t achieve with a single-step wipe or polish.
2. Uneven Results and Surface Damage
DIY tools can leave uneven sanding spots if not used correctly. Professional restoration uses multiple grits of sandpaper and polishing compounds for a smooth, bright finish.
3. Quick Fix vs. Professional Process
A professional restoration isn’t just about looks; it’s a multi-step process. I completely remove oxidation, polish the lens, and apply a UV shielding treatment that helps slow future oxidation.
4. Real Results That Last
While store bought kits may give a short-term improvement, my process restores your headlights properly and helps protect them for a longer time. Plus, I’ll provide after-care tips to help keep them looking great and performing safely.
