headlight haze on 2k??

I remember about 9 months ago reading a post on how to remove the unsightly haze on my headlight lenses. Something about a plastic polish? Please remind me what the product is that I should buy. sorry, I wish I could just do a search. I just upgraded my h4 bulbs and it is now time to remove this pesky problem..thanks

Me too. My AE has had haze from day one. No ammount of soap n water will take it off. They always look dirty. I thought maybe it was a bronze tint thing.

All I do to keep my headlights looking great is wax. I wax them when I wash my car and it gets rid of the haze.

My 'haze' isn't like old discolored plastic, it's like a film residue on top of the headlamps, not 'in' the plastic. I can scrub and wax and it looks different but it is always there.

i use meguires plastic cleaner and polish and it gets rid of the haze. when i first used it, the haze would come back but now i use it about everytime i wash my car and it doesnt show up anymore.

i use just a simple fine cut rubbing compound like 3m's. then just wax over it to protect the lens from more immediate buildup. the plexus stuff works too, just not that easy to find. really any polish that is a cleaner, and protectant, should take it off, but 3m and plexus, also novus makes a plexi polish that i have used to get scratches off the face of my factory radio and guage cluster. hope that helped
