Default How to prevent yellowing of headlights...

As the title states, what's the best way to keep headlights from "yellowing"? I was thinking wax, maybe. What product should I use and where can I get it?

Also, how good is PlasticX?

Use 3m clear film for automotive use.

They come as a dealer option for new vehicles, usually luxury vehicles.

They are new headlights.

Where can I find that, any local automotive store?

Might be a stupid question, but MidCivic if you use the 3M Clear product will that turn yellow or discolor in anyway? I use a similar product but on my phone and I notice it starting to turn brownish in color it was a 3M clear cover for phones. I know phones and headlights are different but I figured I'd ask because this is what I would need to use for my CTR headlights I bought.

Your phone isn't exposed to weather, rocks and speeds of 60 mph on the face of a vehicle.

This takes years to happen when it does peel the film off and apply a new one.

The brown on your phone is built up dirt from touching it all the time.
