NH Headlight haze

My headlights are starting to get the weird haze to the plastic on them and I was wondering how to fix it. Any suggestions.

Send them to me. My nephew will sand them and re-clear coat with anti oxidant materials.

Ok, Ok, try Mc Guaiurs plastic polish. If that doesn't work get a buffer and use that with it.

Try white vinegar. That will remove most any mineral buildup.

You could also try a glass/plastic polish.

Warranty replaces these headlights for free. They just replaced mine for that. Amazing really...how they choose not to fix...but just give you more?
