Default hazy headlamps

Help. Does anyone know a really good solution to hazy headlamps? I have a 99 gsr w/HID retro, and the haze is just killing me. Thanks

Yeah, pick up a can of Eagle One Never Dull polish. It's a fibrous material that comes in a metal canister. Just clean your headlamps really well so that there's no dirt or other debris on them, then rub them with the Never Dull material until they are completely coated. Then let them sit for maybe 5 minutes and polish them with a clean cloth. The stuff is normally used for chrome and other metals but it works great for this application too. I was really impressed with the results. I usually do this everytime after I wash my car. :thumbup:

After I did my retro I wetsanded the lens to remove all deep pits and some overspray I had on them. Then I bought some Meguiar's PlastX and polished them up real nicely. They look almost brand new and my cars a 96.

That is the proper way to do it.

The Never Dul polish works, but it will return with a vengeance in a week or two.

I found that some rubbing compound and invisible glass works well.
