Remove Oxidation on Vehicle Headlight Lenses
Oxidation on modern plastic headlight lens reduces performance and increases glare. When vehicles are exposed to sunlight and salt, naturally occurring oxidation will form on headlight lens causing the lens to lose its transparency and eventually become opaque. Oxidized lenses can be restored to clarity easily with an acrylic lens de-oxidizer.
Steps
- Start with a clean dry surface.
- Using a paper towel, apply a drop of de-oxidizer to the lens and rub in a circular motion.
- The oxidation will clear from the headlight lens instantly as the de-oxidizer comes in contact with the oxidation.
- Repeat process on tail lights, and marker lights if needed.
Tips
- Do not use fabric to apply because it is absorbent and wasteful.
- Apply to a clean, dry surface.
- Acrylic lens de-oxidisers work on contact, they are pure liquid and do not come in solid, paste, powder or cream form.
- One half ounce bottle of acrylic de-oxidizer will hold enough applications to last the life of a car.
- For the best results follow directions on package.
Warnings
- Do not use a lens de-oxidizer on painted surfaces.
- Do not mix de-oxidizer with water or put water on a de-oxidized lens before it has a chance to dry.
Things You'll Need
- You will not need any tools, goggles, power buffers or special skills. You will only need about 10 free minutes a paper towel and a pure liquid non abrasive acrylic lens de-oxidizer (ALR) to do the entire vehicle.
