So once you clean them like that, how long do they stay clear before they start to haze up again?

i am not 100%, but i would think so. it's just plastic and you want to get it smooth that's all. i have my body paint polishing compound for that though

Nice. Make sure to use plastic protector afterwards and will last longer.

I use their scratch-x on my headlights ... and for the $8 ... its well worth it. takes minutes to use and takes years off the lights.

I use WD40 to get the haze out of my lights, guess I'm ghetto. Works really good though!!
