Used Goo Off on headlights... bad mistake!
So there was some kind of orange paint on my headlight housing (don't know how it got there) but I decided to take it out with Goo Off that I got from Home Depot. That created a haze on my headlights and now it's cloudy!! Anything I can do to remove this?? I really don't wanna wetsand my headlights cause it takes a long time. Is there an alternative???

My headlights had a light haze on them... i lightly wet sanded then polished them, it only took like 10 min and got rid of the haze...

The plastic polish should work. I had a haze on mine and used the 3M stuff, it's a 2 step deal, and they looked brand freakin new when I got done.

PlastX

If that does not work, wet sand (1,500-->2,000grit) then follow with PlastX.
