I tried it a hundred times, but after a week or so it goes back... Will replace with new ones before winter anyways, both front and backs

use one of the kits with the clear coat...(spray on is better, but brush on works ok...it might look a bit streaky tho like mine did)
or buff them with some very fine sandpaper with soapy water untill it's all evenly hazed over ad then spray on some clearcoat(use some kind of automotive clearcoat since they ussually have uv protectors in it already...helps keep them clear longer after)

the buff only kits are useless...
they just promote more hazing, since now the headlight has a fresh new surface to haze over that's not protected by the original uv coating

look online...there's many brands but remember to use a clearcoat/sealer...otherwise it's pointless...
i did the same thing for 2 yrs then i used one of the sealer kits and it was like new for the rest of the tiem i owned the car(~1.5 yrs)

You would say that!

But you are correct. lol

I run depo fronts, STM amber sides, and modified depo rears on my white car. On the green car it has black out fronts, stock sides, and ES rears.
