Default Help On Clearing Up Headlights (Searched)

so i've tried just about everything on my headlights (800 grit sandpaper, polishing compound, and that eagle one chrome polish) they worked descent but there is still a light haze to them....not tooo bad but not new looking either. is this haze pretty much the best i can get? any more suggestions? i have searched extensively. you think i should just work up to like 2000 grit sandpaper and polish?

Buy new headlights. All the money youve spent on headlight restoring chemicals you could just buy new ones.

call a couple detailers up and ask them if they do headlight restoration. a couple of them do it and it turns out brand new.

use 2000 grit and then buff them. thats easy. trust me.

i think you may have messed up using 800 grit, thats too rough

so use 2000 grit paper (wet sand) use some elbow grease too, then use a good rubbing compund perferebly with a machine buffer, them polish them with regular car wax or polish.
