Nice work. I need to do the same, though I don't really have any haze...

i use plastx with every wash. never let it get to that point where you have sand if you keep up regular polishing.

Need to de-haze mine as well. Was just going to do the Plastx route first. More if needed. Nice job. Great pics. Thanks...

Just did this today, but only a 4 step process:

1. 3M buffing compund.
2. Massive Popeye buffing.
3. PlastX for a fine finish.
4. 303 Protectant to prevent future dulling.

It's still a little yellow near the edge of the housing, but it is amazingly clear.
I have a gallon of protectant and I will just squirt my lights every week to keep the UV damage away.

I need to do this so very bad. I know someone who will do it for 90 bucks but maybe I should try it out.

How hard do you have to work to get it clear? I have a bad lower back and shoulder so I'm wondering if I should even attempt it.

Correction... It was on the outside and I used PlastX and some elbow grease and am 100% satisfied. Looks like new.
