The name of the product escapes me, but it is palsitic/vinyl celaner.

You can use Plexus products or 3m Plastic polish.

Default Use Meguiar's PlastX

I use Meguiar's PlastX which has been an excellent product for removing haze from my RX300 headlamps. You should be able to get it at your local auto store. Hope this helps

We just had our foggy headlights fixed on our 99 RX by the Headlight Doctor(904)874-7873, here in NE Florida.. They came out to the house, sanded the lenses down, then used their own mixture of plastic replacement and sprayed it on. They have a 5 year warranty and the lights look brand new - all for $90! Not as cheap as doing it yourself, but with the warranty I felt OK!

Use a polish like Meguiar's Deep Crystal Polish or use Meguiar's ScratchX. Both work great. I thought the haze was on the inside of the lens, but after I applied this stuff and cleaned it, the lens are in great condition now. Remember to use a terry cloth towel or a microfiber towel that won't scratch your lens. Additionally, you need to put some elbow grease into but your lens will look brand new after you are done.
Cheers
