A New Car at 5% of the New Car Price

Delaminating (peeling) paint on before complete car paint job.

Today we feature a great car with low miles but its age was really showing in the paint and headlights. The owner's objective was to get a "new" car without the new car payment. So he changed the color, restored the headlights and fixed the delaminating or peeling paint & clear coat. He chose our Urethane Single Stage paint for a durable but economical finish.

Headlight Restoration

Yellow, faded headlamps look bad and are unsafe. Restore them to jewel-like clarity for a fraction of replacement costs. Almost Everything polishes the damaged surface then rebuilds the layer with a tough new coating of clear epoxy resin. We DO NOT use quick-fix chemicals that cause permanent damage to the lights.

Before:
One headlight is faded, yellow and cloudy before restoration.

After:
Headlights are clear and bright after cleaning & polishing at Almost Everything Auto Body.

Before:

After:
Headlamp restored at Almost Everything Auto Body.

Note: There are cheap chemical treatments promoted for faded lights. We have found that these chemical treatments look good for a short time but wear off. Worse, the chemicals eat into the surface of the light and cause microscopic cracks or "crazing." Then the lights look worse than before. Almost Everything's restoration process cannot fix the damage cause by these chemical treatments. So we recommend against them.
