Yep, its a coating on the outside that ages with time due to UV & pollution....?

But be careful what you use to clean the lenses up..!!

Here is the science.... :wink: (About halfway through the lesson begins!!) :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHphcVobnuc
Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...

Hi,

Crystal Disc cd repair fluid will prevent the discoloring from coming back.

Cheers.

the best product by far is XERAPOL plastic polish and Acrylic scratch remover (has been mentioned before in other posts) I responded to that, ordered and tried it......amazing results!!
