Discolored Headlights Arggg What works best?

I would think that the lenses on the G35X would not discolor like less expensive cars, that being said, what is the best product for these lenses? Lasts the longest etc.

I know you can buy buffing things for the headlights to make them clear again than on ebay they got plastic lens cover it suppose to protect it from fog discolor and all that.

It depends on how badly "hazed" or oxidized your headlights are. Plastix is not aggressive enough for some, the 3M kit works very well because you can use it for all different stages. Using a clear bra over the top after they are clean is a good idea for UV protection - or you can do what the guy from My350z did and make your own UV clear for headlights

Get a kit and use it till your headlights look like new then immediately put some clear car bra protectant on them. Get it from eBay or somewhere. Mine has it from the dealer on day one and nine years later I have no hazing or yellowing.

This.

My car is parked outside all year long, so I have to use it a few times a year, but it always gets it looking brand new.

Only thing I noticed after using the 3M kit on several vehicles... The speed of the drill makes more of a difference than the time and pressure you put on the lens. Did mine with a high speed drill and they came out crystal clear. Then the PlasticX wax couple times a year and you should be good.

I used the 3M kit on mine and was very happy with the results.
