Step 1 of 4
Mask & clean
Mark masks off the paint and trims around each lens and thoroughly cleans the headlight.
SERVICE · HEADLIGHTS
Mobile headlight restoration, clear again.
Foggy, yellowed headlights cut back, restored to clear and UV-sealed on your driveway, often in under an hour.
Before · the damageWHAT MARK FIXES · HEADLIGHTS
Cloudy headlights Mark makes clear.
Years of Sydney sun haze and yellow the plastic lens, scattering your light and ageing the whole front of the car. Mark cuts back the oxidised layer, restores clarity and seals the lens, so they look, and work, like new.
Oxidised headlights look milky, yellow or foggy, with a rough, chalky surface you can feel. Years of Sydney UV break down the lens coating from the outside in. Beyond the tired look, a clouded lens scatters your beam, so you see less of the road at night, and oncoming drivers see a dull, aged front end.

02, THE REPAIR PROCESS
How Mark restores a cloudy headlight, step by step.
EXAMPLE · A REAL JOB
An example of Mark's finish quality.
Mark's headlight restoration isn't pictured here yet, this is a recent paint repair, shown as an honest example of the standard of work. [draft, a headlight before/after will be added.]
BeforeAfterQUALITY · FACTORY MATCH
Restored clarity that actually lasts.
A quick polish that looks good for a fortnight isn't a repair. Mark removes the oxidised layer properly and seals the lens so the clarity lasts, better looks now, better light on the road at night, and backed by a 12-month workmanship warranty.
- The oxidised, yellowed layer removed properly, not just a quick buff.
- Lenses refined back through the grades to genuine optical clarity.
- Sealed against UV so the result lasts, not a fortnight's shine.
- Backed by a 12-month workmanship warranty.
OBJECTIONS · PANEL SHOP VS MARK
Why restore instead of replace?
A fraction of new lenses
Replacement headlight units are expensive. Restoring the lens you already have gets the same clear look for far less.
Done on your driveway
No workshop booking and no drop-off. Mark restores them on the spot, often while he's there for another repair.
Better light at night
Clear lenses don't just look better, they let your headlights throw light properly again, which matters after dark.
Roadworthy & resale ready
Cloudy, yellowed lenses can fail an inspection and knock resale value. Clear ones tick the box and lift the whole car.
COST · LESS THAN YOUR EXCESS
No excess. No claim. No premium hike.
Restoring a pair of headlights is a fraction of replacing them, and a clean, clear lens can be the difference at a roadworthy or before a sale. No claim, no excess.
PROOF · IN OUR CUSTOMERS' WORDS
What our customers say.
Real notes of thanks from real driveways, names and suburbs are theirs, lightly tidied for grammar only. Nothing invented.
I just wanted to pass on my comments about the service from you yesterday morning. You were prompt, professional and courteous, and most of all, my Mazda looks fantastic. I would definitely recommend Scratch 'n' Match to anyone.
Mrs T. Jones
Killara, NSW
I'd just picked up my new Honda Civic and parked it for less than an hour in a supermarket car park. On my return, someone had bashed the rear bumper. The dealer quoted me a small fortune to repair the damage. I called Mark at Scratch 'n' Match and he came and repaired it for a fraction of the price, and without a trace of the previous damage. Needless to say, I'm one very happy customer!
Jonathan
Rose Bay, NSW
Many thanks for a job well done. I was very impressed by the service and the equally fine workmanship. I'm elderly and drive my car every day, it's my independence. The car looks like new (at least the bit Mark repaired!). If the need arises, I shall certainly use Scratch 'n' Match again.
Mrs Brown
Turramurra, NSW
Just wanted to say a big thank you for a job very well done. I'm so happy with the results and will definitely be referring Scratch 'n' Match to my friends and family. I also really appreciate you calling to let me know you were running late, great service.

FAQ · THE COMMON QUESTIONS
Good to know.
How long does the clarity last?
Because Mark removes the oxidised layer properly and seals the lens, the result lasts far longer than a quick polish, months and beyond, not a fortnight. [draft, confirm with Mark]
Can you fix both headlights?
Yes, headlights are almost always done as a pair so the front of the car matches, and it's the better-value way to do it. [draft, confirm with Mark]
How long does it take?
Most headlight restorations are done in under an hour on the spot, in your own driveway. [draft, confirm with Mark]
Will it pass a roadworthy / pink slip?
Clear, restored lenses help your lights perform and look the part for inspection. If a lens is cracked or internally damaged it may need replacing, Mark will tell you honestly. [draft, confirm with Mark]
