Why not just wet sand and buff it yourself? Its fairly easy.

and some elbow grease.. that should do the trick. If your headlights are really cloudy/hazy, then you have to most likely wet sand it.

are you talking bout the sealer? I saw that but I thought that it was snake oil. I would like to find a good uv sealer

Crystal View kits work great and can keep headlight lenses clear for years but it's absolutely critical that the directions be followed exactly: http://www.myheadlight.com/

The kits involve wet sanding and then sealing with a lacquer-like chemical that dries hard as nails. It took about 15 minutes to take the headlights and foglights on my LS from looking completely trashed to looking like new.

Just give it couple weeks, they will become haze again. You have to use something more abrasive for it to be a long term effect.

Gonna fix up my headlights soon. 800 grit, then 1200 grit, 2000 grit, and then PlastX should make them nice and shiny?
