Glad to hear you got great results with the 3M product. I consider it the best out there & readily available at most auto part stores.

A suggestion for keeping those headlights in great shape. I use Meguiar's PlastX Headlight Cleaner & Polish on my 07 Coupe 2x per year. Nothing really special about the Meguiar's product; any good headlight cleaner/polish will do. Apply by hand - this routine detailing will keep your headlights sparkling clear and prevent any build-up of oxidation on the lenses.

Meguiar's has a new product out this year - Headlight Protectant. Suppose to be like putting sunscreen on the headlight lense. Puts a UV-resistant coating to keep headlights clear. Haven't tried it, but might be good for those of us in very warm locales. And this year, that's everywhere!

Later,

I tried another product. It left the headlamps very smooth. I applied the protectant and look good until it dries and goes back to being hazy. Could I have the problem on the inside? How do I do the inside of lens. Just thought I'd ask for some help on this matter.

Toothpaste aparenty does the trick also, all you need is a clean cloth and some water. You can apply some regular car wax let dry then buff. Good as new.
