    Tips & Warnings

    • 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.
