You say you didn't know your Headlights were cloudy & yellow?

Your car looks good, Your paint is shiny, your windows are clean, your chrome is sparkling and your tires are a jet black.
You even took the time to clean the carbon from around the tail pipe.
You just know you looking good,
Until you drive past a group kids and one of them says to the other

"That's your MAMA'S car".

THE ULTIMATE INSULT......, BUT WHY????? YOU WONDER, What's wrong with my car?.

Maybe it's your headlights, most people do nothing special to preserve the clarity of their headlights and some cause them to yellow by putting wax on them.
Just like anything else exposed to the sun, rain and wind, Headlights will show their age over time.
Wax will build up and yellow over time.
Doing nothing will allow them to oxidize and cloud up and yellow.

Using an acrylic paint conditioner periodically as "Preventative maintenance" will keep your headlights clear and free of oxidation indefinitely.
