I use the Meguiars PlastX on my headlights after every car wash and detail.

DOne deal, used PlastX, wash them again, then used Mother's Carnuba liquid for UV protection.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Not sure, but I read somewhere these headlights are "Lexan" and this stuff is what to use on them? Any experience with these?
I'll post a pic when the server speeds up, but they are just starting the half moon shaped yellowing at the very edge(s).
I use the Meguiars PlastX on my headlights after every car wash and detail. It easily removes the yellow film that builds up. My car is 21 years old and can use all the help I can give it. I use it on my other car (2007) as well and those lights look brand new.
At a certain point, the uv coating on the plastic lenses will be so far gone that polishing with a product like you mentioned will only be a very temporary solution. Once that happens, the only real solution is to have the lights sanded and clearcoated. It�s a permanent solution rather than an ongoing chore! Any competent body shop should be able to do it for you rather easily.
appreciate that; but that's not viable around where I live, there has to be a plan B, something I can get sent here. Heard there were products with UV, but thought I'd mention it here first, before I start down that rabbit hole of "research". Guess I'll start looking now though. Thanks. BYW, the PlastX worked really well, so I'm half way there.
Most of the kits come with a UV protectant. Since most of them are just wet sanding supplies, they're easy to replicate - wet sanding with different grits, polish with PlastX, then UV protect....I got a kit because it had the comfy sanding block and and polishing ball for the plastX. You definitely need that UV protector for your work to last.
I used the Meguiar's Heavy Duty. We can get it at Canadian Tire here, or Amazon. Like anything else, it's just patience and work. Get the yellow out then smooth it out with progressively higher grits. Then polish it. This kit came with the drill attachment for polishing, which is way better than doing it by hand. Then you have to seal it.
I didn't do a "before" shot, and honestly they weren't terrible, but bad enough to look "aged". Now they're pretty clear, although I see now the photo certainly doesn't do them justice.
I was thinking along the same lines as DBJoe996 -- after polishing, apply a UV-protecting (along with all that other road stuff) film.
I found it easier to apply with the lights in the car vs. on the bench, the curves make it a challenge, but a heat gun and a couple extra pieces for do-overs got the job done.
No yellowing yet, but it has only been since spring.
XPEL definitely has it.
In 2004, XPEL was a start up company and I listed it on a startup stock exchange - CNQ - Canada's New Stock Exchnage. I'm still running the listings department, but now we're the Canadian Securities Exchange (better known now for the all the cannabis companies over the past few years). We've grown a lot since listing penny stocks in 2004. Xpel left the Canadian exchange in 2007 and moved to Nasdaq in 2007.
So one day several months ago I was flipping through Panorama and saw the full page add for Xpel - and looked up the stock price. Shortly after I was speaking with one of the Canadian promoters that brought it to market in 2004 - he sold most of his stock at $0.25 and made "a ton".
Now the stock is $51.
I remember when I reviewed it for listing I though it was brilliant - laser cut from templates, very little waste - but the business took a while to take off. When it did, it really did!
You can pretty much use any polish to do head lights. Plastx is fine, usually, you can get a 3M or similar kit at the auto parts store or a Wal Mart. If that doesn't work, sand first and then compound and polish. After that as mentioned either clear them or put some sort of ceramic coating on them.
DOne deal, used PlastX, wash them again, then used Mother's Carnuba liquid for UV protection. I saw no reason to sand, paint or buy "film", allows for too many other issues since I am happy with a benign correction.
