You shouldn't need any wax over the clear coat. Use a polish to shine it up, or wetsand the clear with 2000 and buff it with a polish. Wax builds up with multiple applications and will yellow over time. Why do all of that work and just put something back on that will yellow again

Hmm, wax will yellow over time? Interesting. I didn't know that.

So let me get this straight, we're talking about polishing the OUTSIDE of the lens? Mine are fogging up, but I had assumed it was on the inside. Well, one of them has a small ding and has let condensation in, but they both are foggy and I assumed I needed to take the lens off.

You can just put a hair dryer to it, to dry it out. Then seal it up using either a silicone sealant or some plastic window stuff that hobbiest use on model cars.

This may sound funny but my mechanic told me about this years ago and I have been doing it on every car I've owned since...

 

MAG WHEEL CLEANER. Do it as if you were waxing your car but use Mag Wheel Cleaner. It gets out just about everything and your lenses will be clear again. If the lenses are really cloudy it may take several applications, but it works!

 

Once you get them clear just remember to do it every time you wax your car and you'll never have cloudy lenses again.

Yeah, I was thinking I might try that approach for the inside.....but the yellowing you all are speaking about is on the outside?

I've actually had very good results with the toothpaste method. Both on my 94 turbo lego wagon and my 97 civic. One of these days I'll grab some clear coat and really finish the job off properly.

yes yellowing on the outside.

 

Has anyone done a search...there is tons of info on this.
