From difficult factory coatings to severely oxidized lenses, you’ll learn the same processes, techniques, and business strategies used in the field every day to build a profitable headlight restoration business.
Built from real customers, real vehicles, and real results.
Refined through real mistakes and real results.
Not outdated—used in the field every day.
The Experience Behind The Academy
Brad Sweitzer, founder of Headlight Restoration Academy and creator of the StartRestoringHeadlights YouTube channel, started his journey in 2019 with one goal: build a profitable business through headlight restoration. What followed was years of trial and error, wasted money, bad marketing attempts, and countless hours trying to figure out what actually works.
“I really wish I had a mentor or someone who had been doing it for years full time to give me some guidance so I didn’t have so much wasted time and money. I’ll be honest, I almost gave up a few times, but after taking a drive to clear my head, I counted how many vehicles had hazy headlights on the road, and thought to myself, no way this isn’t a gold mine” -Brad Sweitzer
Headlight Restoration Academy was created to help others skip years of frustration and avoid the costly mistakes that most beginners make. This isn’t theory-based training or recycled information from people without real experience. Every lesson is built from hands-on work, real customers, and systems refined through years in the field.
Beyond restoration techniques, the academy focuses heavily on what truly grows a business: getting customers consistently, pricing correctly, marketing effectively, and scaling efficiently.
Whether the goal is extra income or building a full-time business, Headlight Restoration Academy provides a proven, real-world blueprint designed from experience, not guesswork.
