Do your headlamps look yellow, cloudy or foggy?

Most headlight lenses are made of polycarbonate plastic. This strong plastic is perfect for taking on harsh road conditions without breaking, but it doesn’t play well with the sun. Initially, the lenses are coated with a UV protective film, over time this film is destroyed by UV rays, allowing the plastic to oxidize.

We now have an awesome new product which will have your car looking great and shining brighter than ever!
