// IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Is Headlight Restoration Right for Your Car?
Headlight restoration is the right choice when your headlights have lost their clarity and are affecting your visibility or your car’s appearance.
It's ideal if your headlights:
- Look yellow, foggy, or cloudy
- Have oxidised or hazy lenses
- Are reducing your night-time visibility
- Are making your car look older than it is
- Need to pass a roadworthy or pre-sale inspection
If your headlights are cracked, physically damaged, or the internal reflectors are fogged, restoration may not be suitable — we’ll assess on arrival and let you know honestly before we start.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does headlight restoration take?
Both headlight pairs are typically completed in under an hour. We assess the condition on arrival — heavily oxidised headlights may take slightly longer, but we'll let you know before we start.
Will my headlights look like new?
In most cases, yes — professionally restored headlights look close to new. Results depend on the severity of the oxidation and the condition of the lens. We'll give you an honest assessment on arrival so you know exactly what to expect.
How long will the results last?
With ceramic UV protection included, professional headlight restoration typically lasts 1 to 3 years. Results depend on sun exposure and how the headlights are maintained — parking in shade and regular gentle washing will extend the result. Without any protection, headlights can re-yellow within a few months, which is why we include ceramic as standard in every service.
Can you restore headlights with cracks or internal fogging?
Wet sanding and polishing restores the outer lens surface only. If your headlights have internal condensation, fogging, or physical cracks, restoration may not fully resolve the issue — we'll assess on arrival and advise honestly before proceeding.
Is headlight restoration cheaper than replacement?
Significantly. New OEM headlights can cost anywhere from $300 to over $1,000 per unit. Our restoration service covers both pairs from $180 including ceramic protection — a fraction of the replacement cost with excellent results in most cases.
Can I add headlight restoration to a detailing package?
Yes — and it's better value. When added to any Sam Car Detailing package, headlight restoration is $119 instead of $180. Just select it as an add-on in the booking form.
What if it rains?
If heavy rain is forecast on the day of your booking, we'll contact you to reschedule at no charge. Light showers are manageable but we'll always check conditions beforehand and keep you informed.
Is there upfront payment required?
No — no upfront payment required. You pay by cash or card on the day once the job is complete and you're happy with the result.
Do you need water and power?
Yes — we need a standard power outlet and an outdoor water tap within 20 metres of the vehicle.
