Make sure the headlight bulb sitting has not been damaged then try to refocus the light. Search YouTube on how to do this.

Cleaning that glass won't do much if your light is not properly aligned

Just take your car to painter to shine the head lamps.They would use sand paper to smoothing the hear lamps and then spray paint it . Doing this you would thank me later.

OP get a smooth sand paper, use it and water to clean the surface of the headlights first.. After that, apply car wax on the surface then scrub it hard (just like body of cars are being buffed with wax, you can use cotton wool for this process) this will help clean the dirt on the surface of ur headlights and restore it.

But then, a close observation on the headlights they don't look faded. i think the problem is from the inside. You should consider a replacement.

Can I wax the whole car? I've heard that it helps preserve the surface and protects against moisture. Is turtle wax t465r ice paste polish wax suitable for this purpose?
Tell me if there is any other way to protect the car. I have read that at car washes the coating facts about a month and can resist dust and dirt and frequent rain. Remember that after two or three visits to the car wash, the wax coating needs to be reapplied because the chemical foam washes it away quickly.

Confirm.

I did this to my headlamps and the result was amazing.

I didn't believe it until I saw the result.

this will work but the best is to take it to a mechanic village,there are artisans that wash and shine headlights,foglights and tailghts for a living,they will open the headlights and wash it throughout and reapply the shiner if necessary,then they will sand the cover and apply varnish and hardner, there are workers that specializes in refurbishing different parts of cars.
