Safety, not just looks
Cloudy, yellowed and oxidised lenses restored by sanding, refinishing and sealing — not wiped with a polish that fogs back up in a month. It is your night vision, not just the look of the car.

Short answer
$99.99 for the pair at our North Nevada shop. The oxidised layer is sanded off, the lens is refined back to clear and then sealed with UV protection. Replacing a pair of modern headlight housings can run into hundreds or thousands of dollars; if the housing and bulbs still work, restoration is usually the answer.
What is included
Polishing alone only cleans the surface haze. The yellowing is damage in the lens coating, and it has to come off.

The failed factory coating and oxidation removed, the lens refined back to clear, and UV protection applied.
Best for: Yellowed, foggy or dim headlights.

3M paint protection film over the restored lens takes the stone chips and UV so it stays clear longer.
Best for: Highway commuters and new lenses.
Ask about film →How it works
Modern lenses are polycarbonate with a factory UV coating. When the coating fails, the lens oxidises.
Polycarbonate lenses leave the factory with a thin UV-protective coating. Sun, heat and road grit break that coating down, and once it is gone the plastic underneath oxidises, yellows and goes cloudy.
At Colorado’s altitude that happens sooner than at sea level. It is not just cosmetic — a cloudy lens scatters the light and cuts how far you can see at night.
The lens is masked off, the failed coating and oxidised layer are sanded away in progressively finer steps, and the lens is refined back to optical clarity. Then it is sealed with UV protection, because a bare lens would yellow again quickly.
That last step is the difference between a restoration and the wipe-on kits that look good for a few weeks.
If the housing is intact, the seals are dry and the bulbs and electronics work, restoration is usually the better value by a wide margin. Replacement makes sense when there is moisture inside, cracks, or damage inside the housing.
We will tell you which it is when we see the car.

The same crew that corrects paint and installs Gtechniq coatings restores headlights. Sanding a lens is abrasive work; doing it without damaging the trim around it is the skill.
Headlight restoration is a correction job on plastic, done with the same care as paint.

17+
Seventeen-plus years of professional detailing. Reading a surface before touching it is the part of the job that experience buys, and it decides every step after it.
Paint and trim around the lens are taped off before any sanding starts.
Every restored lens gets UV protection. Without it, the yellowing comes back fast.

3M film · from $695
3M film on the headlights and front end takes the chips before they reach the lens or the paint.

Six detail packages from a VIP hand wash to a full Platinum detail. Headlights can be added to any of them.
Where we work
Done in the shop at 2725 N Nevada Ave. Customers drive in from across the county.
ST6 North Nevada is the in-shop location: detailing, paint correction, Gtechniq ceramic coating, 3M paint protection film, window tint and vinyl, all under one roof in controlled light.
At 6,035 feet the sun is harder on paint, plastics and leather than at sea level, and winter leaves magnesium chloride and sand on everything. Most of what we fix is Colorado doing what Colorado does.

Headlight questions
Answered straight. If yours is not here, call the shop and ask.
$99.99 for the pair at ST6 North Nevada.
Longer than a wipe-on kit, because the lens is sealed with UV protection after it is refinished. 3M headlight film on top extends it further.
Usually under a couple of hours, and it can be added to a detail on the same visit.
If the housing is intact, dry inside and the bulbs work, restoration is usually far better value. Moisture inside, cracks or internal damage mean replacement.
Polish removes surface haze only. The yellowing is a failed coating and oxidised plastic, which has to be sanded off and then sealed.
