The Process

1

Inspect and assess

Kaidyn checks the condition of both lenses before touching anything. This tells us exactly how many sanding stages are needed to get the result right.

2

Clean and prep

The headlight surface is washed and decontaminated. Tape is applied around each lens to protect your paintwork during the process.

3

Wet sand in stages

Starting with a coarser grit and working progressively finer, wet sanding removes the oxidised outer layer that causes that foggy yellow look.

4

Machine polish

A rotary or dual-action polisher with cutting compound brings the clarity back. This is where you start to see the difference.

5

Seal and protect

A UV-rated sealant is applied to both lenses. This is what keeps them clear for longer, especially in the harsh North Queensland sun.

6

Final check

Both headlights are inspected side by side in natural light. If it is not right, it gets redone before Kaidyn packs up.

Is This Right For You?

This service is ideal for utes, SUVs, and sedans that spend a lot of time in the Townsville sun, where UV damage fogs up headlights faster than most other parts of Australia. If your headlights have gone yellow, hazy, or noticeably dim at night, restoration gets them clear again without the cost of replacement.

Common Questions About Headlights Restoring

How long does headlight restoration take?

Most headlight restorations take between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours for both lenses. The time depends on how badly oxidised they are. Kaidyn will give you a clear estimate once he has had a look.

Will my headlights go yellow again after restoration?

A UV sealant is applied after polishing to slow the process down significantly. In a sunny climate like Townsville, no sealant lasts forever, but with proper care your headlights should stay clear for 12 to 24 months or more.

Is headlight restoration worth it compared to replacing them?

In most cases, yes. Replacement lenses for common utes and SUVs can cost hundreds to over a thousand dollars per side. Restoration brings them back to clear at a fraction of that cost, and the result on moderately to heavily oxidised lenses is dramatic.

Do you need access to power or water to do this service?

No. Kaidyn carries everything needed to complete the job in your driveway. You do not need to provide anything on the day.

Can you restore headlights that are cracked or physically damaged?

Restoration works on oxidation, hazing, yellowing, and surface scratches. If a lens is cracked or has deep internal damage, restoration will not fix that and replacement would be the right call. Kaidyn will let you know honestly after the inspection.
