Is this product effective? How difficult is it to install? I have a '02 es300 with hazy lenses. I buff them out and have used rain-x protector on them but it seems to be a twice annual maintenance issue.
Thank you

I bought something similar called XPEL Headlight Film from AutoAnything. Reviews seemed really good and I'm yet to install it. I'm in the same boat as you and I can't stand having to buff the headlights every year. I tried using s clear coat and it still hazes up. This film seems to be a once every decade kind of thing, so I'm willing to try it.

I wouldn't bother. Be happy it's only a twice-a-year thing....
I do this every wash on my dad's RX, except, tired of actually buffing to have it last one month, I take one minute with a dab of ATF on a rag and work it in. Does the job, lasts a few weeks Takes zero effort...
One thing you can try, is the "valspar urethane method" for cleaning them up.
If anyone wants a "permanent" fix for this, you actually have to take it to a body shop to clear coat them. Clear coat out of a rattle can doesn't have the same effect, the body shop will actually sand them right down and build it up from there....
Lastly, cheap vinyl [as above] from ebay will drastically help.
Many choices out there...
