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.

After:

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.

Bumper Replacement on 2009 BMW 550i

Bumper cover torn off BMW 550i.

We replaced the damaged bumper cover, the lower engine shield and a support bracket on this 2009 BMW 550i. The repairs included original factory-matched paint and a lifetime warranty. Things like the grills, fog lights, reflectors, parking sensors, headlamp washers and other parts get disassembled from the old bumper and installed on the new bumper.

A Proper Range Rover

Range Rover with scratches & caked in mud from off road adventures.

Today's 2002 Range Rover came in for a complete paint job. This was a fun (and dirty) project for the shop. When it arrived it was obviously well-kept. The owner wanted to freshen it up and ensure that the paint was in good condition. He requested our premium, base coat-clear coat paint job with a full disassembly of the vehicle and wet sanding & polishing after the paint was dry. As we began to disassemble the car, we got a better idea why it needed painting. Mud was caked inside the doors and every panel several feet up on the car. The owner grinned when we talked to him about it. We found a few parts needed to be replaced due to rust but the vehicle was actually in great condition for the type of rigourous use it was getting. When we finished it looked brand new.

Before—Scratched & Muddy:
Mud caked under rockers and body side mouldings half way up the doors.
