I polished out my headlights about 6 times. They were cloudy again in just a couple months each time.

Plus, on mine, that top layer never wore away completely. Even after taking the headlamps out and polishing them with plastic polish and a buffer, there were top-layer chunks that kinda looked like a map of India still visible.

Got sick of it. Bought new car.
