Headlight Restore FAQs

HEADLIGHT RESTORATION

Q. Why does one of my headlights look better than the other after using the Cerakote Headlight Restoration Kit?

A. This is usually related to unintentionally being more thorough on one headlight. Unfortunately, this will require a Repair Kit (complimentary of Cerakote) for the removal of the existing finish using Step 2 Surface Prep Pads and a secondary application of Step 3 Ceramic Clear Coating. Ensure both headlights are evenly sanded, and one Step 3 Ceramic Clear Coating wipe is used per headlight.

If all steps have been thoroughly completed, it’s possible the internal surface of the headlight may be oxidized.

Q. Why do my headlights look bad after completing Step 2 in the Cerakote Headlight Restoration Kit?

A. Your headlights will appear scuffed and hazy after Step 2 due to the smooth etch you created from the 2000 grit and 3000 grit sanding discs. This smooth etch is crucial for our coating to adhere successfully to the surface.

Q. Can I touch-up missed areas on Step 3?

A. We do not recommend trying to touch-up areas, as this product quickly becomes chemically resistant once dry. This product is a one-coat application; more than one coat will have a cloudy appearance.

Q. What temperature can I apply Headlight Restoration?

A. Ideal environmental conditions for application will be in a shaded area with temperatures between 60°F and 75°F.

Q. Is there an expiration date for the Headlight Restoration Kit?

A. We encourage the use of the Headlight Restoration Kit within a year of purchase.

Q. What warranty does the Headlight Restoration Kit have?

A. We stand by our product and know it can perform when applied correctly. If an issue occurs that is not related to an application error, we are happy to send a replacement kit or provide a full refund
