Headlight correction

Today i was asked by a friend if i could do anything to remove the hazing affect on his mercedes headlights.
After my Astra T8 detail at the weekend i was sure i could improve the look on these headlights.
Firstly i gave the headlights a quick wipe down to make sure they where clean. 
I opted for Menzerna Intensive Polish (PO85RD 3.02) on a Sonus SFX-2 Spot Pad.
The spot pad allowed me to work on the smaller lights with ease.
With the headlights been plastic, the heat builds up quite quickly so i couldn’t focus on one spot for to long.
I worked on each lens for around 5 minutes from speed 3-5 varied on my Meguiars G220.
I then gave them a buff with my mircofibre and then repeated the process.
In all it took me around 25 minutes to complete the job.
