The head lights become cloudy because of ultraviolet damage to the plastic. the plastic needs ultraviolet protection, like our eyeglasses have ultraviolet protection. the headlight develop cataracts, literally, becoming cloudy and very difficult to see clearly at night. i have to drive very slowly. i have found maguire's pastx does help for a few months and then the headlamps or lenses become cloudy again. of course each time i use this plastic cleaner and polisher, i am diminishing what little uv might be left in the plastic. this cloudiness of the plastic also is bad enough to prevent the passing of state inspections in pennsylvania - it's regarded as a possible hazard obviously according to the state inspection. *jb | |||
