I think this happens to all plastic headlights unless you wax them regularly. I have never waxed them on my truck. Hell I have never even waxed the truck and the paint still looks like new.
Six months later and my son reports that the lenses still look like the day I polished them. Not that it's impossible but it's hard to screw it up with their directions. Til something better comes along I'll use the 3M lense kit.
One of my clients has a used car lot and they actually have a guy that does this for a business. He cleans head light lenses.
Thought they were kidding till I saw him pull up at their lot one day, never really payed any attention to how or what he did but the lights looked great when he was done

I did the wet sanding thing on my headlights using 2000 grit for the final sanding. I then buffed them with rubbing compound and waxed them. They came out looking great with about an hour of work------oh and one more thing, be sure to tape off the area around the headlight lens so you can go at it with gusto and to make sure you don't scratch up anything else.

Not trying to derail...but can you do the same on a plexiglass windscreen? Bought a boat from a guy that I swear must have dropped a sponge in the sand before cleaning the windscreen. It drives me nuts looking at it in the sun.
