Find out how this handy technique can restore clarity to your headlights in just a few minutes.
Why do headlights become opaque?
The headlights of modern cars are often made of polycarbonate, a material that is robust but sensitive to UV rays, dirt and moisture. Over time, this leads to oxidation, giving the headlights that yellow, dull appearance. This can reduce their light output by up to 80%, increasing the risk of accidents.
Factors responsible for headlight tarnishing:
- Prolonged exposure to the sun, causing yellowing.
- Accumulation of dirt and pollution, forming an opaque layer.
- Internal condensation, which can be caused by faulty seals.
