what is this crap on my headlight?!

headlights yellow and haze when the plastic starts to deteriorate from the heat of the sun, and the halogen itself. A build up of road grime also attributes to this.

Sanding and polishing is the only fix. If you do not sand, plastx will only remove the yellow grime. The headlight will still have a haziness and not be crystal.

the invisible stuff you feel on your paint is also a build up of industrial fallout, and needs to be clayed out. This will leave the paint feeling silky smooth. It will wax easier, and the wax will have a better bond with the surface, leaving the paint better protected.
 
When I wet sanded my lights used 2000 grit wet paper, turtle wax polishing compound (green tub) and Blue Magic plastic polish and they turned out like they are new removed the ugly yellow haze took about 2hrs to do both sides.
