• ANSWER: Most headlight lenses are made of plastic. The combination of daily exposure to vehicle exhaust, UV sun rays, harsh chemicals and road debris results in pitting of the surface as well as an actual chemical alteration of the plastic lens. Plastic clouding occurs much the same way that metal rusts. This oxidation must be removed. The Janvil Product removes this oxidized outer layer and reveals a new “Fresh” layer of plastic.
