For $6.00 I highly recommend this stuff. I bought some of this stuff and it works!!! Just thought I would pass the info along to anyone with yellowing dulled lights. I wish I had thought to take some before and after pics, but for $6.00 you cannot go wrong!!
Yea, it's not a permanent fix, but for 6 bucks it's a help until new lights are in the budget, the label states the product needs to be re applied every 2-3 months.
He is right. I have done it before too, and it does fade in just a couple months. You need some kind of clear coat that would protect the plastic from oxidizing. Regular automotive clear will crack, so don't use that.
I've used Brasso metal polish and polishing compound on the Mustangs lights, either one works well, but the oxidization comes back of course.
I can say first hand that clearcoating the lights works, I did it on my old Escort. I sprayed carb cleaner on the headlights, it melts the layer of plastic with the oxidation on it, then I sprayed clear on the headlights while the car and they never yellowed again. I found the controversial carb cleaner method on the Escort fourms, but dont do it on a car you care about. lol
