Joe did an absolutely incredible job on my car. It was in a bit of a state after all the rain inside and out (parked under a pine tree) and it literally was a night and day difference when I picked it up. Feels brand new again. Highly recommend!
Headlight Restoration, Blue Mountains NSW
From $80
Yellowed or cloudy headlights make your car look old and reduce night visibility. Headlight restoration clears the haze and restores bright, clear lenses, at your home or workplace.
The Problem
Why headlights go yellow and foggy
Modern headlights are made from polycarbonate plastic, which degrades under UV exposure over time. The clear coat on the lens breaks down, turning yellow and hazy. The result:
- Significantly reduced light output at night (safety issue)
- Yellowed, aged appearance that affects resale value
- Failed roadworthy inspections in some cases
The Solution
Professional restoration at your door
Headlight restoration involves sanding back the degraded outer layer of the lens through progressively finer grits, then polishing to restore clarity, and applying a UV-resistant sealant to protect the results.
Done correctly, restoration brings headlights back to near-new clarity, dramatically improving both appearance and light output. Results typically last 2β3 years before maintenance may be needed.
Joe brings all equipment to your location. The process takes 1β2 hours per pair and can be done while you're home.

Questions
Headlight Restoration FAQ
- How long does headlight restoration last?With a quality UV sealant applied after polishing, results typically last 2β3 years. Parking under cover and applying a headlight-specific UV protectant periodically extends the results further.
- Will restoration work on severely yellowed headlights?Yes, even heavily oxidised headlights respond well to professional restoration. The key is using the right sanding progression and finishing with a quality UV sealant. Joe will assess the severity when booking and give you a realistic expectation of the result.
- Is headlight restoration cheaper than replacement?Significantly. OEM headlight units for most vehicles cost $200β$800+ per headlight (plus fitting). Aftermarket units vary but are still expensive. Professional restoration achieves near-new clarity at a fraction of the cost and without the hassle of sourcing and fitting new units.
- Can you restore headlights at my home in the Blue Mountains?Yes, this is a fully mobile service. Joe brings all sanding, polishing and sealing equipment. The car just needs to be accessible and ideally in shade or undercover for the UV sealant to cure properly.

What Customers Say
5-Star Rated Across the Blue Mountains
Joe is absolutely amazing. My car looks and smells brand new, I didn't want to put my feet in and drive it, it looked so good. He was on time, efficient and the job was great value for money. So glad I've used Driven Detail, will do again. Thanks Joe.
Magic! Had a very bad bird poo stain all over (and I mean all over) the passenger door. Even scraping the glass with a razor blade wouldn't shift it until I also put some bicarb solution on it. Using a scraper clearly wasn't possible on the duco so I called Joe. Not only did he clear it all off, he also repaired a scratch that was beyond a well known smash repair place in Katoomba. Highly recommended.
