Yes I have 30 some years experience there in the sunshine state. That's why I finally moved.

The sprinklers there are usually hooked up to 'well water' & that will discolor lights & the paint for that matter over time.

I went ahead and tried the Rainx system on a taillight. The sealant that is applied as the last step smells just like armour all, I suspect that is what it is. Heres a pic of the restored taillight lense and the other side unrestored lense
