I have been using a product called Plastix.

The only problem is the haze comes back.

If any knows about a sealant that thy have used successfully, please share.

I use the Novus products on a buffer (Novus 3, then Novus 2, and wipe off w/ Novus 1). I have them around for another hobby & they work good - for a while.

Just like salimshah said, Novus doesn't last forever either. They looked good for about 6 mo's but they're starting to haze again. I was just noticing that the other day.

Get some automotive scratch remover and buff out the headlight cover. If you don't have a power buffer, be prepared to work up a sweat! Put a good coat of sealer/wax when you're done and this will prolong the time to about a year before it hazes over again.

There are some kits on the market but they are $20-$20 and they just contain some 600-800 grit sandpaper, scratch remover and rags.

Minimal effort using Platix. You dont feel any grit and the lens is free of scratches.

I've used Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover on other cars with good results, I'll be trying it on my LS430 this weekend, one of the lenses is starting to age.

I'm using Meguiar's PlastX. It works pretty good. My arm gets tired though from rubbing back and forth. Results are amazing for me.

your best bet is to wetsand with 1500-2000 grit sandpaper, and polish with a compound such as 3m scratch remover. Then a few coats of Collinite insulator wax, and you should be good!.

right on, thanks for the feedback guys!!

ive found out that there isnt any product good enough to remove haze except wet sanding 800 grit sandpaper and then using 1000-2000 grit sandpaper. after that using plastix on each headlight using an electric buffer. it takes work and effort, but its well worth it.

BG sells a headlight restore kit for about $49.95 works extremely well highly recommended i get it from our bg guy that comes by our dealer once a week.

Does the kit contain a sealant? After how long does the haze return?

the kit is just overpriced products that have already been suggested...
