Yellowed or cloudy headlights: better visibility with professional polishing
By The Clean Cars Wash team · Published on · Updated on
Over time, your car's headlights can turn yellow, dull or cloudy. This is common on cars exposed to sun and weather, and it affects both their look and how well they light the road.
Clean Cars Wash offers headlight restoration and polishing to bring back their clarity and shine.
Why do headlights turn yellow?
Modern headlights are usually made of polycarbonate, a tough material that still ages. Several factors speed this up:
- UV rays from the sun;
- rain and temperature changes;
- harsh chemicals;
- micro-scratches and unsuitable washing;
- gradual wear of the original protective coating.
The result: your headlights become dull, yellowish and less transparent.
What are the risks of driving with cloudy headlights?
A badly degraded headlight can reduce the light thrown on the road and your visibility at night. Beyond looks, headlights that are too degraded can also be a problem at the vehicle inspection if their light output is no longer sufficient.
