Kia Headlight Cover Resurfacing/Restoration in St. Louis
Have you noticed lately that your headlights aren’t cutting through the darkness as well as they used to? If so, don’ t be one of those motorists who jump the gun, and have them replaced. The problem may be that they’ve lost some of their transparency due to daily wear and tear, but they have plenty of life left in them. They may only need to be resurfaced and restored, a considerably less costly service. In order to grasp what headlight resurfacing involves, it’s necessary to understand that there are actually two parts to your headlights: the headlamp that generates the light; and the transparent plastic hardcoat that protects the headlamp.
Resurfacing Your Headlights
The hardcoat is what actually needs the service since it’s out there on the battlefront, so to speak. When you drive through a road repair area the gravel the car in front of you churns up leaves its mark on the hardcoat in the form of abrasions, ditto for the sand that assaults them on a breezy day at the beach. Meanwhile, the UV light that has become more and more present in the atmosphere yellows and fogs the hardcoat, little by little, robbing it of its transparency. Fortunately, this is a reversible condition. Resurfacing and restoring may be all that’s needed to bring back the lost transparency and clarity, and with them, the bright lights you miss.
Resurfacing/Restoring Your Headlight Covers
Three-part service:
- Application of a chemical solution to remove the old hard plastic coating that has become foggy.
- Wet sanding the headlamp lens in order to remove the abrasions and polish it.
- Application of a new coating in the form of a UV protective
This last part is especially important since you don’t want the problem to reoccur anytime soon.
