CERAKOTE ceramic headlight restoration

Mobile headlight restoration

Cloudy headlights? Book restoration at your home or workplace. We remove exterior oxidation and prepare the lens surface before applying CERAKOTE ceramic coating for clearer-looking headlights and UV protection. Clean Getaway brings its own water and power.

Headlights alone, or with your detail

The standalone service has its own vehicle categories. Full-size pickups use the $89 headlight tier, even when another detailing package groups a standard pickup with SUVs.

Add headlight restoration

Already booking exterior cleaning? Choose the headlight add-on with your detail. It adds about 45 minutes, before the coating's drying period.

Add-on price by detailing tier

  • Sedan / Coupe$59
  • SUV / Truck$59
  • XL / 3-Row / Van / Lifted$69

Choose one headlight option per vehicle. The add-on is for an exterior detail; it is not an extra charge on the standalone service.

Lens preparation matters

What happens to the headlights

Restoration works on the exterior lens surface. Removing the oxidation is part of the job. The prepared surface also needs protection when that work is finished.

  1. 01

    Remove oxidation

    CERAKOTE's oxidation-removing wipes address the weathered surface layer before the lenses are refined.

  2. 02

    Prepare the surface

    Progressively finer sanding prepares the exterior lens and addresses deeper oxidation and light surface scratches. A frosted appearance during preparation is an intermediate stage.

  3. 03

    Apply ceramic protection

    After the lenses and surrounding areas are completely dry, the ceramic coating goes on. It improves the appearance of the prepared lens and adds UV protection.

Start with the actual lens condition

Exterior haze and internal damage are different

This service targets exterior oxidation and surface haze. Preparation can also improve light surface scratches. The result depends on what is happening to the lens.

What restoration treats

  • Exterior oxidation
  • Surface haze on the outer lens
  • Light surface scratches, improved during preparation

What it cannot fix

  • Cloudiness inside the housing
  • Moisture trapped inside the assembly
  • A cracked lens
  • A failed bulb, which needs a separate repair

CERAKOTE's FAQ explains why internal oxidation may remain after exterior restoration.

Not sure whether the haze is inside or outside? Contact us before booking and describe what you are seeing so we can discuss the condition of your headlights.

Plan around when you next need to drive

Let the coating dry

Keep the vehicle parked and the headlights dry for at least 60 minutes after the ceramic coating is applied. Do not drive or expose the treated lenses to moisture during that period.

This is separate from the approximately one-hour standalone service appointment. The drying requirement also applies when restoration is an add-on. Avoid washing the headlights during this period.

Aftercare follows the manufacturer's application instructions.

60minutes dryParked. No driving or moisture.

Park where we can work safely around the front of the vehicle and make the keys available. We bring water and power. Free travel within 15 driving miles of our Kennesaw base. Past that, travel is $0.79 per driving mile beyond 15, calculated from your service address when you book.
