You've probably seen it on plenty of cars around Innisfail and up the coast — headlights gone cloudy, yellow and hazy, like someone rubbed sandpaper over them. It's not just an eyesore.

Paint Decontamination & Clay Treatment: Why FNQ Paint Needs It
Run your hand over your car's paint after a wash — if it still feels gritty or rough, that's not dirt, and no amount of washing will shift it.
