Same here. I originally did the whole 3M system where you sand them until the oxidation is gone and you step up to finer grades until its smooth and then polish. Doing that is effective for badly oxidized lenses however the uv coating is also removed and that causes mine to get yellowed much faster. I've even re-sealed them many times and although it slows the yellowing process down it still happens. There is a video I watched several months back where you sand them and completely re-clear them with what looks like a great system that practically leaves them like new with uv protection and they wont yellow for a really long time. I believe that's what I'm going to do next. If I find the video I'll post the link here.
@@eoll6322 Either sand them and get a bodyshop to clear them for you, or just buy some medium grade compound and use a drill and sponge pad, do it every few months and they stay pretty decent. Avoid parking facing the sun for long periods, it's a summer problem more than anything.
Looks 10yrs newer 👍👍
My GTI keeps doing this even when I seal them. Tempted to replace them altogether now
