Make sure you get the UV and anti yellowing clear coat designed for this, , , , Meguiars headlight coating is the best

Need to see it after it dries. Wetting anything "hazy" makes it immediately look better.

Next step is to lockpick your neighbors door while they're at work or vacation, sneak right in and clean their house for them, using your cleaning supplies, to show the utmost neighborly care.

This is often limescale from rainwater. I take a damp kitchen towel soaked in vinegar and let it soak in...same effect!

Pro tip: Dont spray your neighbors greenery. They're harder to replace than solar lights.

- Just ignore him.

The downside to this is that it'll only last a few months, depending on the heat and humidity. And then you can never get it clear again, bo matter what you do. Further sprays of lacquer will just make it worse and permanently foggy at best. This lacquer trick has been known for years by people who have done it to sell cars quicker by spraying the headlights to make them appear new again....or at least temporarily 😂

"Let me just seal the dirt onto my neighbors solar lights permanently with some lacquer"

[wwbodywork]

The only thing is, this is definitely a temporary fix. The clear coat isnt going to bond to the plastic and it will flake off very soon considering the sun is beating down on it. If anyone wants to do this, either buy a adhesion promoter or just sand with a 400-600 grit sandpaper before you apply the clear coat and it will last much longer.

I always spray clear uv coat on my solar lights BEFORE I install them. It seems smarter to prevent than to treat.

[SniqrsFFA]

She gon come outside like “so YOU’RE the mfer who’s been spray paintin my solar lights making em not work” lol

[justinejustice_league]

I just moved to the suburbs and I can say neighbors do look out for one another. Just the other day my husband and I were preparing meats inside and our grill timer started going off outside. By the time we went back outside, the neighbor was on his way over to check and see if anything was about to burn😂. Also someone brought up our garbage cans last week and our bee keeper neighbor on the left gives us delicious honey. We came from apartment/ living which is totally different as nobody looks up to even say hello or good morning.

Get some Meguiars headlight clear coat spray, it’s UV resistant and will last longer.

[throbbinwoodofcoxley]

What works even better is brake clean. It melts the nasty oxidized layer off and makes it clear as new. I accidentally found this out when I dropped a can at work and it hit on the nozzle and shot brake clean in the headlight lens of the vehicle I was working on. It looked horrible so I wiped both headlights with the brake clean to make them even. The customer loved having her headlights done “free” and tipped me, lolz.

[bobhingst]

Worked for me on 12 solar garden lights. Amazing

[saleens]

Definitely clean it first n then spray. Or it’ll crack n flake. But definitely works.

[lynnbaker]

I use clear nail polish. Works great and doesn't yellow. 😊

[RealHankShill]

The cause of the problem is plastic oxidizing from exposure to temp cycles and constant UV.

Whatever coating, if any, the manufacturer uses has worn out.

As the surface gets literally beat up by uv and the environment, on a very small scale it begins to break apart leaving very small pieces of itself on the surface. This frequently feels like a powder. It obstructs the light transmission and causes it to start to look opaque.

On a microscopic level, the surface has went from being very smooth to rough.

In order to actually repair the problem you have to make the surface smooth again. Putting a clear coat on top will do this to a certain degree as it will fill in all the micro cracks and crevices.

However the true repair would be to sand/polish/buff to repair the surface back to smooth.

However it will just oxidize again and repeat, so then you put a clear protection coat on top to make your work last longer.

So the correct answer is either sanding or spraying is only half the solution.

Spray without surface prep wont last, and surface prep without spray wont last.

Love that u pull the one out that would have got the roses too...
