Headlights don't get the credit they deserve. They are the eyes of your vehicle. They allow you to see at night and be seen by other motorists. Without them, you'd be blind. That's why keeping your headlights clean and clear is so important.Clear headlight lenses increase your safety and they improve the overall appearance of your vehicle. What good is detailing your vehicle if you're going to leave the lenses yellow and cloudy?
The good news about headlight lenses is that they are correctable. Cars were originally built with glass headlights that were easily broken. Most vehicles built since 1990 have polycarbonate lenses. This is a type of clear plastic that bounces back from considerable impact, making it an ideal choice for the front of a vehicle. The problem with polycarbonate is its tendency to yellow and cloud over time as a result of UV exposure.
