Per pair of headlights. Final price depends on condition — see note on sanding below.
What is headlight
polymerization?
Polymerization is a specialist chemical restoration process used to treat and protect polycarbonate headlight lenses. Unlike simple polishing, polymerization works at the surface level to rebuild the lens clarity using a chemical bonding process — producing results that are noticeably more durable than a basic polish alone.
The technique was developed alongside automotive specialists in New Zealand and refined specifically for the UK climate and road conditions. We use it as the core restoration method in our Silver package, applied after thorough sanding to remove the damaged outer layer of the headlight lens.
Polymerization is ideal for headlights suffering from oxidation, yellowing, haze, light crazing, or general UV degradation. It restores clarity in a single visit without the need for new parts or a garage appointment — we come to your home or workplace in London.
How Silver restoration
works — step by step
Every Silver restoration follows the same professional process. Here's exactly what happens when we arrive at your location.
We examine both headlights in detail to assess the level of oxidation, haze, yellowing, crazing or micro-cracking and confirm the right approach for your specific lenses.
The surrounding paintwork and trim are carefully masked off to protect your car's bodywork during the sanding and chemical stages.
We progressively sand the headlight lens using multiple grades of wet/dry abrasive paper to remove the degraded outer polycarbonate layer, oxidation, haze and any surface damage.
Our specialist polymerization chemical is applied to the prepared lens surface. This chemically bonds to the polycarbonate and restores optical clarity while creating a protective layer.
We inspect the finished result and go over aftercare guidance with you — including our recommendation to apply certain product to maintain the clarity.
Longevity, maintenance
& what to expect
The Silver package is our entry-level restoration — delivering a clear, professional result with simple aftercare requirements.
Standard longevity is approximately 1 year without any aftercare. With proper maintenance every 6 months, results can last 4 years or more — though the headlights may not look identical to the day of restoration over time.
To protect and extend your results, we recommend applying car wax every 6 months. This creates a sacrificial protective layer over the polymerized surface, shielding it from UV and environmental exposure.
Drivers who want clear headlights at a competitive price and are comfortable with simple 6-monthly aftercare. Also ideal for older vehicles where a long-term investment in higher packages may not be worthwhile.
We come to you — your home, workplace, or any convenient outdoor location across South, South West & Central London. We require dry weather conditions to work.
If you're not satisfied with the results, we'll refund you in full — no questions asked. There has been one case where crazing was too deep to restore; in that situation we did not charge the customer.
We serve Wandsworth, Clapham, Brixton, Battersea, Westminster, Kensington, Wimbledon, Croydon, Southwark, Tooting, Balham, Streatham, Hammersmith, Fulham and surrounding South London areas.
Important note on sanding and pricing: Sanding is required for every headlight restoration. If your headlights are uniformly yellow, hazy or oxidised, standard pricing applies from £70. However, if your headlights show crazing, micro-cracking, or heavy hard coat damage — where the manufacturer's original coating needs to be fully removed — additional sanding time of 1–2 hours per headlight may be required. This cannot always be determined by sight alone and will be discussed with you transparently before any additional charge is applied.
