Yellow Headlight Begone

Abstract

A process for removing the cloudy yellowish tint from automotive headlamps, which will improve the transparency, optical quality and appearance. More specifically, the process will restore a plastic headlamp which has become so cloudy that the transparency and optical quality will be restored to an appearance which may be close to if not equal to, a new article. The process imparts other desirable qualities to the processed article that will become more evident in the attached specification and claims. The process is portable so that the aforementioned improvements in the plastic article may be effected in place; in other words, it is not necessary to remove the article from the vehicle or building to process it.
