My dad has had a issue with his 03 Acura CL for a few years with his hazed headlights. Unfortunately he has to park his car all day in the hot sun when at work and it appears to be prematurely aging his headlights. Parts of his headlights are not just hazy but appear to have small fine stress cracks/scratches and they feel a bit rough to the touch. They are getting worse and worse. I have seen a few other cars like this but I want to ask what you guys would recommend doing. Taking them off is going to be a real PIA and it appears it is mostly on the outside. About a year ago I did try polishing them and it cleaned them up a little better but they went back after a few months. I am thinking about wetsanding the rough parts, then polishing/compounding with 3M fine cut rubbing compound, then Menz IP, then Megs Plastic X. then Zaino AIO, followed by Z2, and topped with Collinite 476S. The Acura dealer said they were stress cracks from being in the hot sun too much but not all cars get this being parked in the hot sun and the dealer wanted like $300 for each light to correct it which was out of the question.
Unfortunately I can't post the pics I took because they won't upload onto this site for some reason, but the lights have areas that look heavily hazed and cloudy with fine scratches that are pretty rough to the touch.
