Why bother with the clear? Just wetsand with 1500 till the lights look clearer and follow through with 2000 and then BUFF with a wool pad and some 3M heavy cut - LOOKS NEW - never flakes off and I have cars that are 3 + years old that still are clear. The best part is you don't need a body shop to do this - just about 30 minutes. You could even do this on the car and cut some time off if your careful about the sanding and buffing (or just tape everything off). Everyone has a different way of doing it - just my 2 cents.
You are the only person on CEG I have ever heard with such a claim. When headlights start to haze it is because the clear UV coating has worn/chipped away.
Merely cleaning them with - whatever method - is NOT sufficient. They will haze again and it's been well documented by many CEGers. I have cleaned over 20 sets of headlights of various cars and all headlights eventually rehazed. Some hazed within a week, others lasted up to a couple months. I redid a 95 Honda Accord and finished with 2 lights of clearcoat and they still look great.
