How It Works

Four simple steps to brighter, safer night driving.

  1. 1. Book in Seconds

    Choose a slot online or request a custom time and we’ll confirm within one business day.

  2. 2. We Come to You

    We travel across the Treasure Valley. Hand sanding means no power hookup is necessary—just a safe spot to work.

  3. 3. Restore & Seal

    Multi-stage sanding removes oxidation, then the Headlight Magics UV sealant locks in clarity for years.

  4. 4. Care & Drive

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions drivers ask before booking.

What does the service cost?

Our full restoration is $150 per vehicle. That includes sanding, polishing, the Headlight Magics UV sealant, and a five-year satisfaction guarantee.

How soon can I drive after the appointment?

You can drive immediately. Avoid water for the first hour and skip the car wash for 24 hours to let the sealant fully cure.

How should I care for the headlights afterward?

Use touch-free or gentle hand washes and avoid harsh abrasives. We’ve written a short care guide with all the tips.

Do you travel outside the Treasure Valley?

Yes! We routinely serve Caldwell, Nampa, Meridian, Boise, Eagle, Star, Middleton, Kuna, Fruitland, Emmett, and surrounding communities. Message us for longer trips.

Will this really last? I’ve had restorations fade back before.

Most restorations that yellow back quickly used wax-based or sealant-light kits that wear off within months. We use the Headlight Magics professional system, which applies a ceramic UV sealant — not a wax coating. It bonds to the lens and is backed by our 5-year satisfaction guarantee. If it fades before five years, we come back and make it right.

How is this different from an AutoZone kit?

Store kits are designed for DIY use and typically include basic sandpaper and a wax-based sealant. The results can look good initially but often fade within a season. We hand-sand through multiple grits, polish to optical clarity, then seal with the Headlight Magics ceramic UV coating — a professional-grade product not available in retail stores. You also get a 5-year warranty and don’t have to spend a Saturday doing it yourself.

My headlights are really bad — can they even be restored?

Almost always yes. Even heavily oxidized, deeply yellowed, or scratched lenses can typically be brought back to near-new clarity with multi-stage sanding. If you’re unsure, text us a photo at 208-614-3414 and we’ll give you an honest answer before you book.
