I have the same problem and a CEGer told me to get Maguir's plastic restorer. I'll let you know how it works.

I used it after my 1000, 1500, and 2000 sand and I guess I have a ways to go. Can I rid those spiderweb cracks?

But the Meguiars made me a believer. Altho it's not stock clear, it made Magic when I used the Cleaner/Polish .

Way too expensive to break that easy. One of mine did the same thing. Mine are pretty hazy as well, I've just been inspired. At least it's something I can do inside.

I did someone's today, in a parking lot!

I was talking to them outside about cars and they said something about their headlights. I of course...

This was on a Lexsus and I don't know what model. But whatever!

I did a lite wetsanding, with some 2000 grit, and then I scrubbed the hell out of them with my Meguiars CP Cleaner, followed by the CP polish.

They were totally stoked to say the least!

People! If you follow the How-To and just use some good'ol common sense it will work for you too.

On that note, I will also like to add that once you sand your lens, you will have to keep them up. Just like you should have done from the beinging! Just because they are headlights, doesn't mean that you will not have to worry about them. They are plastic for God's sake!! Not glass!!
