    Once they've been touched, they'll never stay pre-defloration for long. Headlamp PPF can serve as chastity belt on virgins before they happen or right after the rubbing.[emoji4]

    The yellow I've seen is on the outer. A combo of fine scratches from nonOCD washes(I prefer to use different mitts/Mfiber cloths for the body & lenses) & UV oxidation. Both will accelerate grime & contaminant buildup. Solar & lamp heat are catalysts for baking the buildup to a good cure onto them plastic lenses.
