You should try the "3M headlight renewal liquid" only like a few bucks for the bottle and it cleaned up my headlights decently

If you have a good wax, you can use that to actually remove scratches, haze or swirls out of your headlights. No need for a dedicated headlight cleaner kit.

I have the same issue with haziness, wet sanding and polishing took care of that. The minimal scratches look like "spider webbing." Seem likes its coming from the inside of the headlight? You can only see it in some angles with the sunlight. I was guessing because stripping the uv layer of the plastic caused this? Anyone else with this experience and how to fix it?

My body shop made my headlights look brand spanking new and clear coated them as well. More expensive, but oh so much more worth it
