Does it work with the pitting too? That was huge on mine. I definitely needed to do sanding or something to mine, which is what the Turtle Wax kit allowed me to do. The initial cleaning with the compound that came with the kit helped the yellowing a lot, but there was a lot of pitting that contributed to the hazyness.

Get some 500 grit sandpaper and wet sand the headlight. This will make it look foggy but when you spray the light with clear coat (you can buy an aerosol can of it) it will look like new again.Hope this will help you!!
