Frequently Asked Questions About Headlight Restoration

There are many variables that can cause headlights to appear cloudy again after a headlight restoration. If your car is daily driven and is often parked outside its possible to expect the headlights to begin fading again, as the protective ceramic coating we apply is not a permanent solution.
If your car is often parked in a garage expect your headlights to stay clear longer than a car that is often parked outdoors. UV exposure, contaminants from daily driving, and Plainfield, Illinois weather can all affect the longevity of the headlight clarity.
Regularly washing your car to remove contaminants is recommended to maintain headlight clarity.
