Meguiars Plastic X: Cleaning Headlights.

I highly reccommend Meguiars Plastic X cleaner to clean your headlights, it works wonders! Here is what i use for my car. I also use Blue Coral foam wash (not pictured). You can get Plastic X for $2.99 at Autozone. I dont think its a permanent solution for headlight hazing but if you do it after everywash its definetly bang for a buck or two. . The reason i said after everywash is because i said ok what happens when i wash my car? So i washed my headlights like normal and after 3 washes the haziness came back but not as bad... Anyways heres pics.

Heres a pic of my passenger headlight before,

use a buffer and it'll last longer. I have a cheapo Craftsman one from Sears that's been in my garage for YEARS. perfect for stuff like this.
