Are your headlights hazed over already? reason I ask is usually you use a plastic polish like our Zaino z-14 Plastic Magic, Plexus, or the Meguiars plastic polish only if you have a problem with hazing or scuffs.

If you do not have any problems with the clarity of your lens, just use on them what ever wax or polish you use on the paint.

I just picked this up and tried it out on the parents front headlights('93 Lexus GS300 - soon to be replaced) and it took out the haze with light buffing. I would recommend it since I've tried it and it worked!

You SHOULD use Z-2 on all hard smooth exterior surfaces including head and tail lights, the glass, paint, etc.... z-5 is also fine to use....
