Yep. I was gunna post something myself. My GF recently got an MX6 and I know anyone thats seen one knows how the headlights get all yellow on them. I used some Nu Finish car wax and it helped out alot. I also used some armor-all all purpose cleaner and it helped more. It seems to just be oxidation.

Me three! It looks almost like clearcoat of some sort. I'll probably try to peel the rest of mine off and then wax / polish it one of these days... Really looks like crap the way it is

actually the best to use on them... is meguires #66 or if you cant find that look for meguires cleaner wax. i have been a detailer for 2 years and you would not beleve how easy that stuff works compared to others.
