WARNING\u2013WARNING<\/h1>\n

AVOID THE SCAMS<\/h1>\n

I know it\u2019s hard to believe that there are ones out there trying to take advantage of you by helping you depart from some of your HARD-EARNED money, but sad to say there are. <\/p>\n

Hopefully this will help you keep a look out for just these businesses and individuals.<\/p>\n

Some companies (they are at the top of your Google search), (paid advertisement) and others that claim to restore Headlights, use a clear coat product to cover-up what they cannot fix, and they call it a \u201cUV Protectant\u201d. In reality it is smoke and mirrors and by that, I mean, they might do some sanding and remove SOME of the damage (and some do not even do that) and then they cover what they cannot fix with a clear-coat to cover up the scratches and other damage.<\/p>\n

The problem is, if clear-coat was a \u201cGOOD IDEA\u201d why do they not come from the factory with it on them???<\/p>\n

I have done over 16,000 sets of headlights in the past 15 years and this is one of the worst ideas out there \u2013 here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n

#1\tClear-coat is in reality a form of paint and the fact that with the heat from the sun and the light bulbs themselves, headlights expand and contract, over time this clear-coat will crack and peel off and in short order leave your headlights in worse condition than before.<\/p>\n

#2\tIf all of the damage is not removed, what was blocking the light from coming through the lens is still there, and you have gained nothing. It might look a little better at first but then soon you will lose even that.<\/p>\n

Try this test! Take a spray bottle of water and spray your foggy headlights, while they are wet they appear to look better, but what was blocking the light is still there.<\/p>\n

#3\tThe \u201cUV Protectant\u201d Clear-coat will also turn yellow and cloudy (just like the plastic lens did) and then it is very hard to remove the clear-coat when you decide to clean the headlight the right way.<\/p>\n

We do charge more than most, about the same as some. but we have proved time and time again that we are. . .<\/h3>\n
