When you buy any pair of plastic glasses, you will face a cloudy future. You will literally get a white cloud-like film on your frames from wearing them.

It can happen as soon as in a few weeks, depending on how often you wear your eye or sunglasses.

We will be using a product designed for automotive applications, so please read all the labels and instructions regarding handling the product.

Products needed:
Rain X Headlight restorer kit (with Lubricant and Sealant)
Microfiber cloth (the kit comes with a small one)
Elbow grease

Step 1

Apply a small amount of "Rain X headlight restorer" to the microfiber cloth and start working one section of the eyeglass frame at a time. Please stay away from the lenses are you may scratch them.

You may need to go over the same area a few times to eliminate the oxidation entirely.

Step 2

Use the lubricant to clean the "restorer" residue to see if you eliminated the oxidation. If some oxidation remains, repeat step one until satisfied.

Step 3

Once the oxidation is gone, give the frames a coat of sealant to polish the dullness that the restorer left. Give it some elbow grease as this is the step that will restore the original shine of the frames if desired.

Advice about frames

When I was on the hunt for a good pair, I loved the classic design of the brand Persol. The eyeglasses are, to this day, hand made with excellent materials. Depending on where you purchase them, you can find frames starting at just over $100.

I was surprised that many opticians don't carry this brand. One honest employee told me they avoid the brand because of their longevity. Most frames at an optical store are flimsy or easy to break to keep clients coming back.

My frames are 12 years strong. With this guide and products, I hope to make them last another decade.

Have you ever been told by an optical store that there's nothing they can do? How long do you typically keep your frames?
