[Mini Cooper S] Completely remove yellowing and cracks. Fully restore your car's "eye appeal" with headlight repair! | Zuya Factory in Saitama City | blog | Mirror polish that surpasses new cars | Zuya Factory, a car coating specialist in Saitama City

Zuya Factory is a car coating specialty store in Omiya Ward, Saitama City. This time, we will introduce a case study of headlight repair and coating for a Mini Cooper S.

1. Checking the state of deterioration

When the headlights were brought in, they had yellowed all over due to years of UV damage, and numerous cracks had appeared on the surface. This condition is likely to recur with simple polishing, so a fundamental repair is required.

2. Thorough removal with sandpaper

First, we gradually scraped off the old, deteriorated and hardened coating using several types of sandpaper. The optimum grit size is selected based on the depth of the crack, and the process of smoothing the painted surface determines the transparency of the finished product.

3. Hardening coating containing UV absorbent

A hardening coating containing UV absorbent is applied to the clear, smoothed surface. This blocks UV rays and allows the repaired lenses to maintain their clarity for a long period of time. After application, the lenses regained their clarity, almost as if they had been replaced with brand new ones.

4. Professional Recommendation: Protection Film

This time, a coating was used, but for those looking for even longer-term protection (3 to 5 years), we strongly recommend applying a headlight protection film at the same time. The thick film physically blocks UV rays and protects from scratches caused by flying stones. We will propose the best plan to fit your budget.
