Default Headlight haze?

I just cleared my headlights a few months ago and realized my right (passenger) headlight has a slight haze to it. There is no condensation inside. When I wipe the headlight with a damp towel from the outside, it gets better for a second (when wet), then hazes back again. The haze is also only on a certain spot, not the whole headlight. Was just wondering if someone could give me an idea of what to do. Thanks.

Try a Meg's Plastic Cleaner and/or Polish...

Or Try Meg's Plastx.

Try some OTC Megs Plastix. If that doesnt work and you dont have a PC... Then come see me and Ill take care of it for you. I live in CA

I ordered some Micro mesh that Im anxiously waiting to try out.

3inch wool/polishing pads or sanding may work, but I would leave that to a professional.

Not to thread jack, but on a similar note, i've noticed I got a bit of dust on the inside of the glass. It's only noticeable at night when the headlights are on. Is that common? How would i get rid of it? Open up the light?

Nice. I took off most of the haze using Meg Plastix that I got from autozone, but it's not all coming off. I also saw a little condensation inside after I got the haze out? What next?

A PC and paint polishes work fine too. If that doesn't work a rotary with 5 inch foam or wool pads works great. You need to be more careful with that setup though.
