  • Has anyone come across this?

    My moms 2004 Camry has always been garaged since she owned it. She rarely drives it over 10 miles in one day if she even goes out. So it's hardly out in the sun.

    It does have some slight oxidation to it on the top of the headlights so I decided to clean it up with some Plast-X. Clayed them both first before doing anything. First attempt by hand and it made the front of the lens look shinier. Then a corded drill with the 3" adapter attached to it with a 3" cutting foam pad to try to clear up the oxidation on top. Didn't even remove the orange peel looking oxidation along the top. Pretty much looked like shiny orange peel. haha

    After further observation....is it possible that the oxidation is happening on the inside of the lens?

    Sounds like you are going to have to wetsand the lens to completely remove the coating that's deteriorated. Any pictures?
