Are they hazed up?

If so, I have used Mother Aluminum wheel polish on friends cars and has worked pretty good.

Peace,
Craig.

I used various grits of sand paper and wetsanded. I think 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 2000. Then used Mcguires Plastic X polish. Headlight came back near perfect, but went back to hazy faster then the original time. I switched to Halos after that.
