I want to clean the outside of my headlights as they are a little hazy, and want to know what people use. I heard you can use Mothers polish, but I'm not sure which one.

Thanks

will moving from lower to higher/finer grit sand paper, then waxing remove all visible scratches from the lense? how often do you need to wax your headlights afterwards? in a month when the wax wears off, will your headlights be haze free but now scratched up?

 

Back in high school we used to make plastic key chains, and this is how we did it:

You start out with something around 600-1000, depending on how bad your lights may be hazed.

Then slowly move up to the highest grit (2000 right?)

After that, use some polishing compound to smooth out any extra imperfections.

Key word here is polish, not wax. You could wax it after you polish though.
