Acrylic deoxidizers work on contact.
A product that requires excessive rubbing or buffing, comes in a can, tube or box. Is not an acrylic deoxidizer.
Deoxidizers are pure liquid and 100% non abrasive.
Acrylic deoxidizers will also remove oxidation from plexi glass and convertible rear windows. It will work effectively on all clear plastics
Follow instructions, do not saturate your lens with deoxidizer.
More is not better.
Do not allow to sit on surface to soak lens.
If you have used sandpaper an abrasive compound or polish, there will be clouding on your lens surface that cannot be repaired by a deoxidizer. The deoxidizer will remove the oxidation but it cannot repair surface damage caused by these abrasives.
