they have that headlight buffing product. basically rubbing compound for plastics. problem with that is that after that you're gonna get the haze very bad very quickly.

my brother used his buffer on his gf's 05 corolla headlights and they are hella hazy now HAHA.

headlights come with UV coating. over time it gets hazy just as paint gets old in the sun. if you buff them, itll pull that UV coating off. then you're gonna be left with no protection. that's where im hoping the 3m film will come in and protect.

IMO just wax them every time you wash it.

compound breaks down what you have, wax builds up on top of what you have
