TAD Auto Detail is a mobile headlight restoration service covering Harrow (HA1, HA2 and HA3) from a North Wembley base. We restore externally yellowed, hazy or clouded polycarbonate headlight lenses at your home or driveway, typically in 90 minutes to 2 hours per pair, from £100. We bring our own water and equipment and need a household power socket within 50 metres of the parked car.
1 Why Harrow Vehicles Show Headlight Haze
Harrow is one of the highest-demand headlight-service areas in North West London, with a large stock of daily-driven family and executive cars — many 2015–2022 BMWs, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volkswagen models where the outer polycarbonate lens characteristically develops surface yellowing after five to seven years of outdoor parking. Because Harrow sits away from the Central London Ultra Low Emission Zone charge boundary, drivers here typically keep the same vehicle for longer, making restoration far more economical than lens replacement.
Restoration works on the outer polycarbonate surface. It is not a fix for internal moisture, cracks or electrical faults — we assess these first, and are honest if restoration is not the right answer.
2 What Our Harrow Service Includes
- Full lens assessment — external deterioration vs internal or structural fault
- Controlled wet sanding only where required, with the abrasive sequence chosen for the individual lens
- Machine polish using rotary or dual-action polisher with cutting and finishing compounds
- Final hand-finish with ultra-fine polish for maximum optical clarity
- Compatible UV-protective finishing product included to slow renewed weathering
- Surrounding paintwork and trim fully masked before any sanding begins
- Completed at your home, driveway or forecourt in Harrow — no need to travel
3 Getting To You In Harrow
We travel roughly 10–15 minutes from our north wembley base, via kenton road or through preston road. Harrow's residential streets range from wide off-street driveways in Harrow-on-the-Hill and Hatch End to tight terraced streets around Wealdstone and North Harrow. Off-street driveway is ideal but not required — we just need a household power socket within 50 metres of where the car will be parked. Harrow town-centre streets have controlled parking zones; please book a driveway or forecourt slot rather than a metered bay.
We work near landmarks including Harrow town centre and St Ann's Shopping Centre, Harrow-on-the-Hill, South Harrow, West Harrow, North Harrow, Harrow Weald, Wealdstone, Hatch End and Belmont. If you are unsure whether your street or driveway is suitable, send us a WhatsApp message with a photo — we will confirm before booking.
We bring all equipment and materials to your location in Harrow, including our own water supply — you do not need to provide a water tap. We do however need access to a standard household power socket within 50 metres of where the car will be parked, to run our equipment and charge our tools.

A driveway or off-street forecourt is ideal, but not required. We can work on any safe kerbside location provided we have access to a household power socket within 50 metres of the parked car.
Restoration may address an external lens condition relevant to an MOT, without guaranteeing a pass. Internal defects, bulb or aim faults require different repairs. We inspect first and are honest about what restoration can and cannot fix.
There is no honest universal figure. Durability depends on the lens condition, correction method, protection product, exposure, mileage, wash frequency and storage. Cars parked outdoors near busy roads typically weather faster than garaged cars. We explain the protection used and applicable workmanship terms with your quote.
Yes — and we recommend it. Restoring the lens first and then applying PPF protects the restored clarity and prevents future re-oxidation, and we can carry out both in the same visit in Harrow.
