Forget about being Edison or Da Vinci. You don’t have to invent anything! Since there wasn’t a product available to restore the clarity of yellowed headlights lenses, people in need have been using… brake fluid!, an unthinkable solution that pales the origin of the cup of coffee…
For that purpose, Turtle Wax has come to the rescue with its Turtle Wax Headlight Lens Restorer, a product engineered and specifically designed to quickly and effortlessly rejuvenate the lens' surface, clouded by oxidation.
Years ago, carmakers used glass for the headlight lenses. But since the lamps design gets more and more sophisticated, glass was replaced by plastics or polycarbonate, friendlier to conform the shape. Although plastics have two more virtues —cheaper and lighter—, however they turn hazy from oxidation, UV rays, salt, and some other incidental factors. It's a common misconception that the problem relays on the inside of the lens (indeed in some cases is what it is) but what people ignore is that you can mostly remove that upsetting yellow layer in less than 5 minutes working from the outside with the Turtle Wax Headlight Lens Restorer Kit, available for only $10.
This wonderful kit includes the Lens Clarifying compound —which probably would be enough for fixing your lenses—, and for a deeper clouding, an abrasive kit and Spray Lubricant.
The box shows the directions to use the product. So, how can it be used? Simple: You must first wash the yellowed lens to remove dirt from the surface. It is wise to protect the painted areas next to the lamp with masking tape. Then apply the Lens Clarifying Compound to a cotton cloth. Rub the compound over the whole surface of the lens, with firm and even pressure, and buff with a clean cloth. |
