Default Yellow'd Headlights... AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

ok, here's the deal a while back I did a DIY black housing on my 97 hx. came out great, then I wet sanded, buffed, and waxed to get the yellow out. Everytime I get all the yellow out they look perfect, crystal clear like brand new. Everytime it rains or I wash it, it turns yellow again. This is really starting to annoy the **** out of me so if anyone has a sure fire way of getting this yellow **** to stay away I'd apreciate it. I've heard about using acetone. Has anybody used it? does it work?

Try some type of sealing wax like Klasse or something... the carnuba is just washing right off thats your problem.

Acetone. Lmao.

Acetone, in a nutshell is nail polish remover. Put that stuff on any plastic, and you can enjoy watching it eat it away. It will ruin your headlights, dont even think about using it.

Whoever told you that needs to /themselves.
