Fix Dim Headlights with Headlight Restoration Service in the Denver Metro Area

Have you been driving along and noticed that you have to strain to see at night? Perhaps you can't see as far as usual on darker roads? Or maybe you've just looked at your headlights and noticed that they look hazy and cloudy. These are signs that your Subaru car or SUV's headlights need polishing and restoration. Fortunately, this is a relatively simple service.

When you bring your Subaru in for headlight polishing, authorized Subaru technicians will put tape around the headlights, ensuring that other parts of your Subaru don't get scuffed. Then they'll sand down the headlight lenses, using progressively finer sandpaper. This will clear the cloudiness from the lenses. After that, they'll polish the headlights and then wax them, using special compounds. Finally, they'll apply new UV sealant to the lenses.

Why Do Headlights Get Foggy?

The lenses that cover your vehicle's headlight bulbs are usually made from polycarbonate. This is a tough, durable plastic, but it doesn't react well with ultraviolet light. Because of this, the headlight lenses are treated with a UV protective film. Over time this film will wear down, and the UV light will begin to interact with the polycarbonate, making it cloudy. That's why technicians don't simply sand and polish the lenses, but also apply a new protective coating.
