Headlight restoration
Clear lenses instead of cloudy light.
Headlight-lens restoration at AVP Autopflege near Zurich through controlled sanding, polishing and renewed ultraviolet protection.
Headlight restoration
Restore clarity before replacing the unit.
Clouded and yellowed headlamp lenses reduce the quality of the vehicle's appearance and can impair useful light output. Surface restoration can often recover clarity when the housing and internal components remain sound.
We inspect the lens, sand damaged outer material in controlled grades, polish it clear and apply ultraviolet protection to the restored surface.
When it fits
When the lens, not the lamp, is the problem.
Restoration is suitable for weathered exterior polycarbonate where the unit remains structurally intact and internal damage is not responsible for poor light.
When the lens has become cloudy.
Oxidised outer material can be removed and refined to recover clarity.
When one quick polish is not enough.
Controlled sanding grades create the even base needed for a lasting optical finish.
When ultraviolet exposure must be addressed.
The restored surface needs renewed UV protection after damaged material is removed.
Process
Inspect, sand, refine and protect.
Each stage prepares the next so the lens becomes clear without uneven edges or unprotected polycarbonate.
Inspect
We separate exterior oxidation from cracks, internal moisture and electrical faults.
Fine-sand
Weathered material is removed evenly through controlled abrasive grades.
Polish clear
The sanding pattern is refined until transparency and a clean surface return.
Apply UV protection
The restored lens receives protection against renewed ultraviolet degradation.
Honest assessment
Restoration cannot repair every headlamp fault.
Cracked lenses, internal reflector damage, moisture ingress and electrical defects require component repair or replacement.
We inspect those boundaries first so a cosmetic process is not sold as a technical repair.
