Take em off, take em apart, and wipe em out with brasso from autozone. Put them back together, and seal the edges with a light layrer of silicone goo.

You dont need to pay someone to do it. Is the outside cloudy? Just wax the crap out of em. if theyre really bad you could try a very very fine sandpaper then polish. Mine tend to get yellowish at the top from the sun, i just hit em with car wax or metal polish and it cleans em up nice.
