Fix Yellow/Hazy Headlights & Add Protection with Ceramic Pro
Why Should You Bother Cleaning Your Headlights?
Haziness and Yellowing
Headlights are generally made of a polycarbonate plastic which, although durable, can start to break down over time. Just like the paint and plastic components of your vehicle, UV rays wear down the top layers of the headlight plastic which makes is susceptible to scratches and fading. When the hardcoat of your headlights start to wear off, that's where hazy areas start to appear. The "yellowing" of your headlights is also caused by the loss and deterioration of this hardcoat, and has to do with the distortion of UV wavelengths.
Water Vapor and Dirt
This also plays a part in your headlight condition. Moisture from the trapped air in your headlights creates condensation which can scatter the light beam, making it more dim and ineffective. In addition, the more you drive, the more your headlights are exposed to dirt and oxidation. A thin layer of dirt may not be visible to the naked eye, but it can certainly affect the brightness of your beams. Rocks and pebbles that hit your lamps can cause dents and cracks, which also aid in preventing your headlights from shining their brightest.
