I noticed a bit of hazing on the top edges of my head lamps right where the amber part is. Has anyone have good results with restoration kits? If so before after pics, thanks

After sanding/polishing, you need to use a UV sealant. Otherwise, the headlights were haze again.

I used the Turtle Wax kit on my fogs and got the same results.
