Kiddetailer Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I did 1 set of headlights about 2-3 years ago with opti lens. I was still new to using the coatings back then. The blue tip I had to throw away because I didn’t clean it out properly and it hardened. Now im looking at the opti lens in the tube and it looks a slight tint of yellow as opposed to clear like water. is the opti lens no good anymore? want to upload a photo on iPhone to show you guys but I’m limited in upload size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Upload the photo through IMGUR. If its in liquid form it may be ok, if its gel like its a good posibility its done for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 That's the score - if it's liquid in the syringe it's good (container can turn Opti-Lens yellow), but if it's gelled it's gotten moisture in the tube and is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A&J Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Is it liquid? In the photo it does seem that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I guarantee if it's gelled, you'll know - lost a syringe of Opti-Guard Leather that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiddetailer Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 liquid still, no gel consistency. Just looks a bit tanned color. A shame about the color since I did keep it indoors and out of light too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Then its still good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The plasticizer (don't ask what the is, a chemical term) in some syringes can turn some Coatings yellow - it does not effect the product. You are good to go - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
