Headlight Restoration at Infinity Detailing
Restore Your Headlights, Restore Your Safety
Have you noticed your headlights looking yellowed, foggy, or just not as bright as they used to be? It’s easy to overlook, but cloudy headlights aren’t just a cosmetic issue—they can be a serious safety risk. Poor visibility, especially at night or in bad weather, can turn a routine drive into a dangerous situation.
At Infinity Mobile Detailing, we specialize in restoring headlights to their original clarity using professional-grade techniques and products. The result? Your car looks better, your safety improves, and you can hit the road with confidence.

Why Do Headlights Fade?
Modern headlights are typically made from polycarbonate plastic. While durable, this material is prone to wear and tear from environmental exposure. Here’s why your headlights might not look their best:
UV Damage: Sunlight gradually breaks down the protective coating on the plastic, causing oxidation and a cloudy appearance.
Road Debris: Tiny scratches from dirt, sand, and bugs can dull the surface of your headlights over time.
Weathering: Rain, snow, and humidity accelerate deterioration, leading to haziness and reduced light output.
Oxidation: Constant exposure to air and moisture can make the plastic yellow and foggy.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Faded Headlights
Driving with foggy headlights isn’t just frustrating—it’s dangerous. Here’s why:
Reduced Visibility: Faded headlights emit weaker, uneven light, making it harder to see at night or in poor weather.
Glare for Other Drivers: Cloudy lenses scatter light, increasing glare for oncoming traffic and reducing overall road safety.
Aesthetic Impact: Yellowed headlights make even the most polished car look neglected and older than it really is.
Legal Concerns: In some areas, headlights that don’t meet safety standards can fail inspections or even lead to fines.
How We Restore Your Headlights
At Infinity Mobile Detailing, we’ve honed a process that doesn’t just clean your headlights—it restores them to like-new condition. Here’s how we do it:
1. Assessment & Cleaning
We start by inspecting your headlights to evaluate the damage. Then, we thoroughly clean the lenses to remove dirt and debris. This step prevents scratches during restoration and ensures we’re working with a clean surface.
2. Sanding & Polishing
This is where the magic happens. Using professional-grade abrasives, we carefully sand the headlights to remove the oxidized layer of plastic. We start with a coarse grit to tackle major damage and work up to finer grits to smooth the surface.
Once sanding is complete, we polish the lenses with a high-quality automotive compound. This step restores the clarity and shine of your headlights, giving them a like-new finish.
3. UV Sealant Application
After polishing, we apply a professional-grade UV sealant to protect your headlights from future damage. This step is crucial—it creates a durable shield that helps maintain clarity and prevents the yellowing or cloudiness from coming back too soon.
4. Final Inspection
Finally, we inspect the headlights to ensure they’re clear, evenly restored, and ready to perform at their best.

DIY vs. Professional Headlight Restoration
DIY methods like toothpaste or off-the-shelf kits might sound appealing, but they often deliver short-lived results. Here’s why professional restoration is worth it:
Better Products: Our materials are designed specifically for automotive use, offering superior performance and durability.
Expert Techniques: We use a multi-step process that removes oxidation and restores clarity more effectively than DIY methods.
UV Protection: Most DIY kits lack the UV sealant we use, which means your headlights can quickly fade again.
