Extremely hazy headlamps...cleaning suggestions?
Can you guys recommend a method to get these things super clear? Wondering if some of the haze is on the inside as well?

Sand away the yellow.
Buff to reasonable level.
Spray on new UV-resistant clear.
Polish to desired level.
If you have the capital and really care about the car: Headlight film for YEARS of clear lights.
You can opt for Lamin-X as well, but it's only 12 mil film while XPEL is 32 mil or so.

I used to do this. Use a $15 3M headlight restoration kit on a drill to sand, then drop off at my body shop for three coats of ultra-hard clear ($120/pair). Works awesome, but this time I'm trying speedkar9's method since I got some of the Blue Magic stuff for free and have a DA polisher that I never opened three years ago lol

I used to put a drop of Toyota T4 on a rag and just go over the lights after a wash [once a week] kept them in decent enough clarity for a 30sec process for the pair lol
On my 3ES I gave up and bought [like] "new" assy.'s from Japan.

I used -NON ACETONE nail polish remover 99 cents at Walmart and cotton rounds rub evenly or when it dries it might streak a little works great,You can go over it with some sealer,You don't need to soak the pad just 3 drops will do,Hope this helps.

I buffed my dad's Sienna using some compound.
If they're really bad consider using compound with more aggressive abrasive, or wetsanding.
I then vinyl wrapped it to maintain that clear, clean brand new look. It won't rehaze.
