headlight lens protectant

True. Plexus just keeps it clean. If the plastic already turned yellow you probably need to get these headlight polish kits ...

The Plexus does a nice job of making the headlight look clean and sparkly, but it is only a polish and doesn't remove swirls, scratches, haze, etc. I have two cans of it sitting on my shelf so this is personal experience talking. What does work well is the Novus 3 step polishing system. (also on my shelf). You can use it by hand or with a buffer, but the comments about the plastic returning to its previous condition are completely correct.

For a longer lasting solution, speak to this guy:

The owner's name is Richard Cheatwood. Apart from being a satisfied customer, I have no other affiliation with this company.

so what exactly is the cause of yellowing? if you were to use a kit, polish it up nice and clear then put the stone protector on it.. is that end of story? or will it yellow under the protector?

That site does not state a warranty period or gaurantee that lights will not haze or yellow. How long ago were yours treated and are they holding up? Do they put on film?

Of course there's no guarantee. They will eventually yellow if you don't clean and polish them every now and then.

All these headlight restoration service/kit does is it takes off the surface layer of the plastic. Not always a good thing IMO.

I had them done last winter and there is no yellowing yet, but I wouldn't expect any this soon. It's not a film, not that I can see.

I was going to try Plexus but went with Meguire's PlastX from Walmart instead. I apply it on my litronics and 10 yr old rear plastic window every other week and they're both crytal clear with no yellowing.
