Modern lenses are polycarbonate, not glass. UV breaks down their protective coating over time, so the plastic oxidises and turns yellow or hazy. Abu Dhabi's sun and heat speed this up — most cars show it within 3 to 5 years.

1 to 2 hours for both headlights, covering assessment, masking, three-stage wet sanding, machine polishing, UV sealant, and final inspection. You can wait at our centre or drop the car off.

With our UV sealant, typically 1 to 3 years before any re-yellowing shows. It depends on sun exposure — a car parked in a garage holds its clarity considerably longer than one left outdoors.

Most polycarbonate lenses can. Ones with internal fogging, deep crazing through the plastic, or moisture damage inside may not fully recover. We assess before starting and tell you honestly what to expect.

For most cars, yes. OEM assemblies run AED 1,000 to 5,000 plus labour, while restoration achieves the same clarity in under two hours for far less. New lenses also oxidise again without protection — ours includes the sealant that prevents it.

Yes — the same sanding and polishing process works on polycarbonate taillights and fog light covers that have gone hazy. Mention them when booking and we will assess those as well.

Yes. Wet sanding polycarbonate is the industry-standard method. Our technicians use the correct grit progression to remove only the oxidised surface layer, and surrounding paintwork stays masked throughout.
