Over time, even the most beautiful vehicles start to lose their shine—especially when it comes to the headlights. If your headlights look foggy, yellowed, or dull, it’s not just about appearance—it’s a safety issue too. At Infinity Auto Spa & Detailing, we offer professional headlight polishing services in Edmonton to restore clarity, brightness, and overall visibility for a safer and more polished drive.
What Causes Headlights to Dull or Cloud Over?
Headlights are constantly exposed to sunlight, rain, dirt, and road debris. The clear protective coating on your headlights gradually wears away, allowing oxidation to build up on the lens surface. This results in:
Yellowing or haziness
Reduced brightness
Scratches or dull film
Poor light projection at night
What Is Headlight Polishing?
Headlight polishing (or headlight restoration) is a professional detailing process that removes oxidation, scratches, and surface contaminants from the lens. It involves multiple stages of wet sanding, polishing, and sealing to bring back the clear, transparent look of your headlights—without replacing them.
Top Benefits of Headlight Polishing
1. Improved Visibility and Safety
Clear headlights project brighter, more focused light. This improves your visibility during night drives and in poor weather, helping you react faster to obstacles and road conditions.
2. Enhanced Vehicle Appearance
Cloudy headlights can make even a clean car look old and neglected. Polishing instantly refreshes the front end of your vehicle, restoring that “like-new” look and boosting curb appeal.
3. Cost-Effective Alternative to Replacement
Replacing headlights can be expensive—especially for newer vehicles. Headlight polishing offers a professional, affordable way to achieve similar results at a fraction of the cost.
4. Increased Resale Value
Buyers notice clear, bright headlights. Restored headlights signal that your car has been well-maintained, which can positively influence resale or trade-in value.
5. Extended Headlight Lifespan
By removing oxidation and applying a protective sealant, polishing prevents further UV damage and extends the lifespan of your headlight lenses.
How Often Should You Polish Your Headlights?
Most vehicles benefit from headlight polishing once every 12–18 months, depending on driving conditions, exposure to sunlight, and parking habits. If your headlights start to look foggy again or the brightness fades, it’s time for a refresh.
