headlight haze
ok so i went out and bought this 3m headlight kit followed direction to the "T" now im left with a light cloudy haze and i can see the scratches on the lens. The directions said if you still see scraches reapet step blah blah blah, which i did but theres no difference, I read to try Maguires Plastic X which i did and still no help... is there anything i can do? or am i screwed?

interesting- usually hard to haze if you are doing it right.
by machine or by hand?
pads/ towels clean as new?
got pics?
we can get it fixed, but need to see what we are dealing with

I used the rain x headlight restoration kit and it worked pretty well. It looked really hazy as I was going through the steps but after doing the 3rd buffing pad and then putting the sealant stuff on there it looked nice and clear.

post a pic. You might have to wetsand it first before the plastic X if its pretty bad.
If you decide to wetsand it makesure you start with 150 grit and then move to 250 and finally 400. after that use the plasti x.
good luck.

What the f? 150 , 250, 400? This is plastic not wood for god sake.
Any who, that's just me tho.
1000 to 2000 is enough for any haze unless headlights have failed clear on them like my JDM Prelude ones did. That required some serious sand paper and numerous steps.
