A guy pulled into a gas station in Midland. He had a newer Toyota, but his headlights were yellow and cloudy. Told me he cleaned them with toothpaste from a TikTok video. It didn’t help. He said he could barely see at night. We met the next day at his house, and I got them polished up right. When I finished, he smiled and said, “Man, that’s a big difference.” Now he drives safer, and his car looks better too. That’s what Soto Car Detailing does here in Nampa, ID — real clean headlights that help you see again.
What is Headlight Polishing?
Headlight polishing means cleaning the lens on your headlights so they’re clear again. They get foggy from sun, dust, rain, and time. When they’re cloudy, the light can’t shine through good. That makes it hard to see at night and makes your car look old. We polish off the bad layer and bring back the clear look.
Why Headlights Get Cloudy
Why Headlights Get CloudyMost headlights today are plastic. After a while, the sun and weather mess up the clear coat. That makes them look yellow or milky. It don’t matter if it’s a new car or old truck — it happens to all of them. Around Nampa, with all the dry sun and road dust, it happens faster than you think.
Why Headlight Polishing Matters
Foggy headlights make night driving hard. Your lights don’t go far, and other drivers can’t see you well. It’s not just ugly — it’s not safe. We had a mom call us after she almost hit a deer. Said her lights were too dim. After we polished them, she felt safer on the road again. It helps you see better and makes your car look sharp again.
How We Do Headlight Polishing
We start by cleaning the headlights real good. Then we sand down the top layer with light pads. After that, we buff and polish the lens to get it clear. Last, we add a sealant to keep it from turning yellow again. It takes about 30–45 minutes. No paint. No parts. Just hard work and good shine.

How Long Headlight Polishing Lasts
