The heads light on your vehicle are essential to safety when driving. Other than blown bulbs they have very few issues. However one thing that does happen over time is corrosion due to UV. What happens is the UV breaks down the outer layer of the plastic lens causing the head light lens to turn dull and cloudy. This decreases the light intensity projected onto the road by the head lights, also it ages the appearance of the vehicle. 

To rectify the damage due to the UV Pickards uses a three step process to restore the lens to like new condition. 

Step 1: Sand the outer layer of the lens, gradually increasing the grade of the paper used, making sure the lens is kept wet.

Step 2: Cut and polish the lens using two grades of polish.

Step 3: Adding a head light lens protestant to decrease the effect of UV on the plastic lens.

I find that after headlight restoration the vehicle looks significantly better, giving the vehicle a much cleaner look and alot of customer satisfaction.

So when your car is next booked in at Pickards Automotive ask us about having your head lights restored.
