Default frosty headlights

I have washed my car numerous times but the front headlights and front bumper lights have a "haze" to them. I live in CT. I use the car as a daily driver when temps are above 50 degrees. How do I get rid of the "haze"? Thanks, Tom.

If its not a plastic film that you can peel off, get a good plastic polish, like for the rear window of a convertible. Roadstersolutions.com used to sell one which I can't remember the name of - but its used to buff the haze out of those plastic rear windows and works quite well. Use that on the lenses until they are clear. I've also heard of guys wet sanding with a very fine paper, but I'm way too chicken to try that.

The car does have a clear bra on the front lid and various other places. I purchased the car CPO. I did not realize they may have clear bra on the lights. Are the lenses glass or plastic on the 997? Thanks.

The headlight lenses are plastic.

If the film on the headlight lens is hazing it must be very poor quality film. What is the brand of film?
