Headlight lens blue haze

Help me out here guys.

I have 00 OEM Maxima headlight That was thoroughly yellowed, pitted, and nasty. Sanded down from 800,1000,1500,2000 before compounding and polishing. I still got these haze that is bluish color. I used Mcguire Glaze after PlastiX polish and McGuire compound. I used variable rotary buffer.

Do you go with rotary buffer also or hand sand?

Had you have any problem with 5th gen OEM housing? This second time, I must be clueless of what I'm doing.

I used the same method on other cars and no bluish tint haze...

All by hand but I don't do the buffing thing.

I remember I did my headlights with the McGuires kit (I think that was it). the one that comes with the ball to attach to the drill to polish. I did not have any haze at all on my lights when I got done.
