what cleaning kit?

my old lights looked worse then that. I imagine it was due to a lot of rock, sand ect ect hitting them and the sun.
Winter. That's what causes mine to haze. Then in the spring I just wet sand them and it goes away...

Its great stuff, use it on all sorts of plastics, even in the house!
I have attached a picture of the cleaning kit below. I believe you can get this at Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, and probably Walmart. I would go to Autozone first, that is where I got it or if you are just to lazy or busy to get it yourself, you can also find it online, just Google it. If you use a buffing attachment for the McGuires PlastX, it would probably turn out even better.

I am not quite sure what caused the hazing, I just purchased my P5 in December w/ 59,000 miles on it. I live in Melbourne, FL so maybe its the salt in the air from the beach combined with usual wear and tear from driving around.

I used that kit and it did not seem to do much, I might not have buffed the headlights long enough I guess. The PlastX did the most for me

I am glad I was able to help you save money, enjoy your "new" headlights. If you have pics of the before and after, or just after, post them up!! Same goes for anyone else who tries this!
Amen to that! +1

Lavender oooooo!
I tried Mothers and a buffing wheel and it got about half of it off!
This is why i never blacked out my headlights. I figured the haze would look 100x worse. There is hope before buying 2 new headlights woohoo!
