A documented 2015 Nissan Rogue job arrived with yellowed lenses and scratches from an earlier restoration. Julian used 1-inch and 2-inch dual-action polishers with high-grit wet-sanding discs, progressed through the grits, polished, and applied nano ceramic coating. That history explains why he asks what has already been tried. Read the full job in the headlight restoration guide.

No. Moisture or a failed seal needs assessment for repair or replacement. Refining the outside does not repair the housing. ### Can I book it without a full detail? Yes. It can be a standalone mobile appointment or an addition to a detail when the lens condition is suitable. ### Will every scratch disappear? Damage depth, lens condition, and past restoration work determine the achievable finish. Julian explains the limits before starting. ### How is the three-year warranty selected? Choose the headlight warranty upgrade in booking. It adds $75 at every vehicle size.
