Yes, it is a compound, at lest for the typical kits available over the counter at must auto shops.
Yes, headlight restoration kits, are more than just rubbing compound, which was my point.
UV hardened sealant makes all the difference. Polishing removes the problem, but it comes back quickly without a clear sealant.
This.
Some spray UV may not work, but many have.
There are dozens of kits available, and some are bound to be better or worse than others.
Sometime ago I mentioned a YouTube video where the author used polishing compounds and UV clear paint that gave excellent results.
For those who don't care to put in the time, $50 and a guarantee seems like a good deal.
My headlights started to turn but just at the top of each lens, odd.
There's no Sam's near me and Costco doesn't seem to offer the service.
My headlights are easily removed, but I don't have an orbital/double action sander, so Walmart may be worth a shot.
Calling Walmart hasn't worked out yet.
They don't accept blocked calls, maybe so they can harvest a phone number.
And when I unblocked, they don't answer, two different stores, the main numbers and the Auto Care Numbers.
Fortunately the LED bulbs seem to offset any mild coloration.
The lenses themselves are only slightly occluded, and only at the very top.
When they really need restoration, it may be time for a new car.
