✨Visibility Package - $240 flat (travel fee waived)

Headlight restoration + windshield ceramic coating.

Here's the thing: Windshield ceramic coating on its own isn't a service most detailers offer. It's usually buried inside a $1,000+ full-vehicle ceramic package. I would not be surprised if we are the only shop in Chicago bundling windshield ceramic coating with headlight restoration because we know our clients come to us to improve their safety on the road.

The ceramic coating on your windshield will repel rain almost immediately after landing on your windshield. Water beads up and rolls right off! Making the Visibility Package a total game changer for your vehicle's safety.

And of course, no tax on top. What we quote is what you pay, and you only pay after seeing the results.

Permanent Headlight Restoration - $350

This is the 2K clear coat method — essentially restoring the original factory coating. After we sand your headlights, we apply a 2K clear coat instead of a ceramic. It bonds permanently and lasts 5 years on average, often longer.

Important: 2K can leave a slight orange peel texture (the same micro-texture on factory-painted body panels). Most customers never notice it. If you want a literal mirror finish, the ceramic coating in our other packages gives you that glassier look. The 2K trades a tiny bit of optical smoothness for permanence — no yellowing, no redoing.

This package is for drivers who want worry-free crystal clear headlights for the lifetime of their vehicle and would rather pay once than schedule another restoration. Windshield ceramic coating is included free and the travel fee is waived completely.

Q: What's your restoration process?

A: Three stages, no shortcuts:

  1. Dry + wet sanding (400 → 600 → 800 → 1000 → 3000 grit). We work up through progressively finer sandpaper to remove the oxidized, yellowed top layer of the lens finishing with a 3000 grit, 3M Trizact sandpaper disc. Each grit smooths out the scratches from the one before it.
  2. Polish. We polish the lens to a high gloss and fill in residual scratches from the sanding process so every bit of light from your bulb actually makes it to the road.
  3. Ceramic coating. We professionally apply a ceramic coating.This final step restores your headlights to that crystal clear clarity they had off the manufacturing line and protects that fresh look anywhere from 9 months to 1.5 years long.

The whole process usually takes about an hour and makes your car look 10 years younger!

Q: How much does it cost?

A: Depends, for basic headlight restoration pricing depends on your car and its location at the time of restoration. The visibility package has a flat rate of $240 no matter your location and permanent headlight restoration is $350 flat as well (complementary windshield ceramic coating included too).

Text us your year/make/model/neighborhood and we'll send a flat quote in a few minutes — no obligation.

Q: Do you fix condensation inside of the headlight assembly and/or replace headlights?

Sadly no. That is more body shop and sealant shop territory however, please reach out to us if you are unsure of how to deal with anything car headlight related. We will help you as much as we can.
