From $189 for both headlights, done wherever the car is parked. The damaged layer comes off the lens, and then we seal the fresh plastic underneath.
The UV coating the lens left the factory with breaks down in the sun, and once it has gone the plastic underneath starts to oxidize. That rough surface is what throws your light off in every direction except the road.
Fixing it means taking material off the lens. We wet-sand through finer and finer grits until the damaged depth has gone, then polish the fresh surface back to clear. Last on is the coat that replaces what the factory used to provide.
If you skip the sealing step, you will be back where you started inside a year.
Which is why we do not sell a polish on its own
A cracked lens, water sitting inside the housing, a peeling reflector or failed projector hardware all need a new housing. No amount of polishing the outside fixes condensation sitting behind the lens. We will tell you straight if we find one of those on arrival, and the visit costs you nothing.
About twenty microns. That is thin enough that a hazed lens is nearly always worth saving instead of replacing, and deep enough that cleaning it does nothing. The haze is in the plastic, not on it.
No shop visit, nothing to drop off. The whole job happens where the car is already parked.
Tell us the year, make and model of the car, and we will come back to you the same day to confirm it.
Home, office and street parking all work. We just need to get at the front of the car with about three feet either side of it.
This is the part that takes the time, usually around forty minutes. You will see the yellow coming off the first lens before we have started on the second.
Last comes the ceramic coat, which replaces the factory UV layer that broke down in the first place. The three-year guarantee starts the day we finish.
Yellowed lenses need sanding. Lenses that are still clear only need sealing, and cost less. We tell you which one you need when we see the car, and we do not charge for sanding that is not needed.

The factory UV layer replaced before it fails, so they never get to the yellow stage.
If they cannot be saved, you do not pay
A cracked lens or moisture inside the housing needs a new housing, not a polish. We check for both at your car before anything starts. If that is what we find, we say so and go. No call-out fee, no argument.
Bigger lenses on an SUV, truck or van, so those are $40 more on either job. Your model tells us which one you have, so we do not ask.
You tick these on the booking form and the total moves as you go. We do not add anything at the door.
