Default Where to get headlights restored?

So I picked up a GTO and the headlights and fogs need some restoring. Anyone know of a place where they'll do a good job?

Do you have any photos to see how they look?

picts of the car too? congrats on your purchase! Why not do it yourself? I had great results with the 3m headlight restoration kit. Took some time and my arms were quite sore after but well worth it. Night and day difference on my truck.... sorry no picts

Thanks man the purchase is bitter sweet. My Camaro was totaled in an accident so I was able to pick up an all stock 06. Nothing special

Posted a pic of the car. Can't tell from a distance I just pay attention to detail and want them super clear. I'll probably try purchasing a kit and doing it myself for now

They don't look that bad from that distance. A closer shot would really tell.


But there are some good kits on the market. 3M is always a good kit. Just be sure to keep the headlights sealed with a synthetic wax or they will yellow quicker.


Meguiar's has a new two step kit called the perfect clarity kit. It may be all you need if the oxidation is not that bad. The protective sealer is stated to last up to a year.
