Yes, but how often do people actually wax? And it only delays the rehaze. I plan to let the clearcoat be for a few weeks before I wax them with some regularity. With the clearcoat and a once a month wax to the headlights, they should continue to be haze-free. Capitol CEG Classifieds Make an offer! 2005 GTO IBM - 337hp/336tq
