The Process

1

Free Quote

Send Nash a couple of photos of your headlights and any chips you want sorted. He'll come back to you with a straight answer on what's needed and a quote, no obligation.

2

We Come to You

Nash comes to your driveway in Levin or wherever you're based across the service area. No need to drop your car anywhere or rearrange your day.

3

Headlight Restoration

Each lens is wet sanded through progressive grits to cut through the oxidised outer layer, then machine polished back to clarity. It takes time done properly, so Nash doesn't rush it.

4

UV Sealant Application

A UV-resistant sealant is applied to both lenses once polished. This slows the yellowing process and keeps them clear well beyond what a basic polish alone would give you.

5

Stone Chip Repair

Each chip is cleaned out, prepped, and filled with colour-matched paint applied in thin layers. Clear coat goes on last to seal and protect the repair.

6

Final Inspection

Nash checks everything over in natural light before packing up. If something doesn't look right, it gets fixed on the spot before he leaves.

Is This Right For You?

This service suits anyone in the Levin, Foxton, Shannon, Otaki, Waikanae, Paraparaumu, or Palmerston North area whose headlights have gone yellow or hazy and whose bonnet or bumper has picked up stone chips from highway driving. It is especially popular with ute and SUV owners who do regular runs on State Highway 1 between Palmerston North and Wellington.

Common Questions About Head Light Restoration Stone Chip Repairs

How long does headlight restoration take?

Most pairs of headlights take between 60 and 90 minutes to restore properly. If the oxidisation is severe, it can take a little longer. Nash will give you a realistic time estimate when he quotes the job.

Will my headlights stay clear after restoration?

Yes, for a good while, especially with the UV sealant applied at the end. How long they stay clear depends on where the car is parked and how much UV exposure they get. Parking under cover helps. Without any protection at all, headlights on NZ roads typically start oxidising again within a year or two.

Can stone chip repairs be made invisible?

A well-done chip repair will be far less noticeable than the bare chip, but it is honest to say that most repairs are not completely invisible under close inspection. The goal is to stop rust forming and protect the panel, while making the repair blend as well as possible with your car's paint.

Do you need power or water to do this at my place?

No. Nash brings everything needed in his vehicle. You do not need to have an outdoor tap or power outlet available. A flat driveway with enough room to work around the car is all that is required.

Is it worth fixing chips before they rust?

Yes, and the sooner the better. Once bare metal is exposed to moisture, rust can start forming within weeks in the wet Horowhenua and Kapiti Coast climate. A chip repair done early is a simple fix. Rust that has spread under the paint becomes a panel shop job.
