RODA SERVICE
Headlight Restoration
Over time, headlights can become cloudy, yellowed, or hazy from sun exposure and oxidation. This not only dulls your car’s appearance but also reduces visibility and safety while driving at night.

THE RODA WAY
Our Headlight Restoration service removes oxidation, restores clarity, and applies a UV-protective coating — making your headlights look like new and shine safely again. We believe in hospitality and transparency — you’ll always know exactly what we’re doing and why it matters.
When You Need This
Clear headlights don’t just look better — they help you see better. Here’s when it’s time to restore them:
Cloudy, Yellow, or Hazy Headlights
Caused by oxidation, UV damage, or years of exposure to the elements.
Dim or Uneven Light Output
Oxidation scatters light, making your beams appear weaker or misaligned.
Reduced Night Visibility
Hazy lenses can cut light output by up to 70%, compromising safety after dark.
Before Selling or Detailing Your Vehicle
Restored headlights instantly boost curb appeal and overall appearance.

⚠️ What happens if you skip it? ⚠️
Ignoring cloudy headlights reduces your visibility and can make your car look older than it is. In severe cases, oxidation can permanently etch the lens, requiring costly replacement instead of restoration.
How This is Done
We use professional-grade tools and products to safely restore clarity and protect your lenses long-term.
1. Clean & Mask Surrounding Area
Protect paint and trim before sanding.
2. Wet Sand Headlight Surface
Remove old oxidation using progressively finer abrasives.
3. Polish to Clarity
Restore transparency with professional polishing compounds.
4. Apply UV-Protective Coating
Seal the surface to prevent future yellowing and fading.
5. Final Inspection
Ensure uniform clarity and consistent light output.

Rated 5-stars by hundreds of DC-area drivers
“Roda was a great service. I hit a pothole and had a blow out. They came and picked the car up downtown, fixed it, and dropped it back at my house. I'll definitely check them out again.”
- DAVE W.How long does headlight restoration last?
Typically 12–18 months, and even longer with proper care or optional ceramic protection.
Will this make my headlights as clear as new?
In most cases, yes — if the damage is external oxidation. Internal moisture or cracks may require replacement.
Do you remove the headlights to restore them?
No — we perform the process on the vehicle, protecting the surrounding paint and trim.
Can I do this myself with a kit?
DIY kits offer temporary results. Our multi-step process uses professional compounds and a UV sealant that lasts much longer.
What does the Roda warranty cover?
Every service, including this one, is backed by the Roda 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty, covering both parts and labor for your peace of mind.
