no idea how to correct this problem but.............I know how to prevent the problem in the future. When my Z was approx 2 weeks old I had a 3M clear bra installed, also popped the extra $90.00 to have the headlights covered as well. There were 2 reasons I did this, #1 the headlights are damn expensive if you have to repalce one $793.00 and the 3M material help out against stone damge and #2 I saw what had already happened to a friends Mercedes, use the 3M brand clear bra material guaranteed for 5 years against yellowing, or peeling

anotehr alternative that works incredibly well is a product called bleach white (sp) i think its spelled differently then that but you can buy it at wal mart for like 2 dollars. Now i know the term bleach will scare most of you off but it wont harm your paint and if your a nut like me you can just line it off with paper or an absorbant towel... basically you use it as a lubricant for san paper (600-1200 grit depending on the degree of degradation) and tehn polish it off the plastx... you dotn need the polish but it makes them look like glass.... ive done it on numerous firends cars and they all swear it looks like incredible..

+1 on PlastX
I use this on my bike, my helmet and the shield. It takes the swirl marks out of the clear and tinted motorcycle helmet shields and windscreens. I keep it on the bike with a microfiber mini-towel.

I sorta buffed out a nice scratch the other day and it got it out, but the plastx itself left alot of fine scratches you can see when the sun hits it.

Psytropic, same as with your paint, only clean good quality cloths, or you will end up with scratches. Did the Plastx cover the hazzing???
