Todd that was a great writeup. Excellent information. Keep the information coming.
another masterful "how to" - thanks Todd.
ok i did a friend healdight today. bought the kit with sandpaper included (2000,3000 and 5000). I did not use any machine equipment.
But i noticed that the passenger side is perfect clear but the driver side esp on the top is still a bit hazy . i dont know why. i even did it twice. i mean it worked on passenger side with same method.
I think that haziness is on the inside because when i scratch that area with my fingernail i cannot touch/feel the haze. Hard to explain
So my question can this happen? Any helpful tips?

Sometimes headlights will get a "belt line" particularly if there is a side that is more exposed to the sunlight. In most cases this can be removed (the oxidation is running a little deeper) by starting with a more aggressive sandpaper (1000 or coarser) until the "belt line" is fully removed.
I suppose it is possible for the stain to be on the inside of the housing, although I have never personally experienced that.

ya i already saw that. thats the reason i started doing it.
anyways i took a small clip of it. You can see that layer of foggy @ top. and compare to the one left headlamp which is all very clear.
I scrubbed for like 30 mins just with 600 grit. and even while scrubbing i could see that hue layer.
And check out the mess i made. So much stuff was coming out
