About Our Headlight Restoration
Modern headlight lenses are made of polycarbonate plastic coated with a thin factory UV protective film. Under Florida's intense sunlight, road debris, and heat, this film breaks down, causing severe yellowing, cloudiness, and micro-cracking.
Cloudy headlights aren't just an eyesore — they reduce nighttime road visibility by up to 80%, posing a serious driving hazard. Cheap DIY wipe kits only last a few weeks because they fail to remove the dead plastic and lack durable UV sealing.
Sunrise Detailing uses a professional 5-step restoration process: multi-grit wet sanding (800 to 3000 grit) to physically remove all oxidized polycarbonate, high-speed rotary polishing to restore optical transparency, and an application of a commercial UV ceramic clear sealant that keeps them crystal clear for years.
