It's Not the Globe. It's the Lens.
Cairns UV is some of the most intense in the country. Headlight lenses feel it more than most parts of a vehicle. The clear protective coating on the lens breaks down under sustained sun exposure. Once it's gone, the polycarbonate underneath oxidises and turns that familiar cloudy yellow. That's not an electrical fault — it's the lens losing clarity from the outside in.
Restoration means sanding back the oxidised layer, polishing the surface clear and sealing it with a fresh UV-resistant coat. It slows the process down significantly without claiming to stop it permanently. If you've got a stone chip sitting alongside cloudy lenses, our chip and scratch repairs can run at the same time.
If your headlights have gone cloudy, it's a quicker fix than most people expect — call 0432 437 710 to get it booked in.

Skip the Sanding and It Clouds Back Over
A headlight restoration that skips the sanding stage looks clear for a few weeks before clouding straight back over. Cairns UV brings the oxidation back quickly on a lens that hasn't been prepared properly, so that stage gets the time it needs, every time.
