Gomes Detailing
Headlight Restoration Johannesburg & Gauteng
Yellow, cloudy headlights make a car look older and dim your lights at night. We restore them to clear at your location.
Gomes Detailing offers mobile headlight restoration across Johannesburg, Pretoria and Gauteng from R350. We sand away the oxidised layer, polish the lenses clear and finish with a UV-protective seal—done at your home or office.
From R350
What’s included
Masking of surrounding paint, wet sanding to remove the yellowed and oxidised layer, compounding and polishing to restore clarity, and a UV-protective seal to slow the yellowing from coming back.
Why headlights go yellow
Headlight lenses are polycarbonate plastic with a thin factory UV coating. Strong Gauteng sun breaks that coating down, leaving the lens hazy, yellow or cloudy. Restoring the lens improves both the look of the car and how much light reaches the road.

Frequently asked questions
- How much is headlight restoration?
- Mobile headlight restoration with Gomes Detailing starts from R350 for a pair of headlights, done at your home or office across Johannesburg, Pretoria and Gauteng.
- Why do headlights go yellow and cloudy?
- Headlight lenses are plastic with a factory UV coating. Gauteng sun breaks that coating down over time, so the lens oxidises and turns yellow, hazy or cloudy, which dims your lights at night.
- Does headlight restoration last?
- We sand away the damaged layer, polish the lens clear and finish with a UV-protective seal so the result lasts far longer than a quick polish. Parking in shade and regular washing help it last even longer.
- Can headlight restoration help my car pass a roadworthy test?
- Cloudy lenses reduce light output. Restoring clarity improves how much light gets through, which helps with night visibility. The final roadworthy outcome depends on the full vehicle inspection.
- Do you come to my house for car detailing in Gauteng?
- Yes. Gomes Detailing is fully mobile. We travel to homes, offices and complexes across Johannesburg, Pretoria and the rest of Gauteng—no workshop drop-off required.

Add-ons include Headlight Restoration from R350 and an Engine Bay Detail from R450. Final quotes depend on vehicle size and condition.
