For headlights you will need a plastic polish.
Meguiar's makes a plastic polish set that works really well. I use it. It is #10 and #17 and I believe it is in their boat product line. I get it locally from West Marine. I can check tomorrow to see what product line it is in b/c it is out in my detail rig.
Novus makes three different plastic polishes varrying in agressiveness. They are numbered 1 to 3.
If the haze is really bad, then you can wetsand lightly with 2000 grit sandpaper. If you have to go with wetsanding, then get the three products from Novus as they can remove the 2000 grit sandpaper marks easily. Sometimes the haze can be on the inside of the lense too but it is usually most on the outside.
For regular maintenance you should get Plexus. It will help clean and protect your headlights so they stay clear.
Also, skip Zaino and go with Klasse All-in-one and Klasse Sealant Glaze

Zaino makes a great plastic polish, and you only need one product, not two. For your Black Camaro, I'd suggest ZFX, Z5, Z6, and Z7.
And, of course, if you like to work harder at getting a shine, you could go with Klasse. The SG product is a PITA for the most part....

I find the Klasse AIO to be the hard part

Then I suppose you are the exception. I, like most, have found the SG very difficult to avoid hazing and overall difficulty in buffing. The AIO is the easy product IMO. I've seen more statements referring to SG as being a bear/difficult than I ever have AIO, so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on my being "wrong again." My experience agrees with the majority of those opinions about SG. Besides, I don't make a habit of being wrong, just to the point, but do sometimes make errors, like anyone else. You opinion on AIO vs SG is different than mine, fine, but it doesn't make it any more right or wrong than mine or what the majority of people that I've seen say about the product, which I agree with.

After rereading my post, I guess it did come across a little too "attitudish."
Makes no difference anyway who's right or wrong here. Klasse are proven products that are comparible, but different, to Zaino. I was a little put off by the difficulty, but there's no denying their quality versus 99% of the stuff out there. Anything that gives long lasting shine and protection gets an "A" in my book. The fact that there are so few products that actually do this, makes these products all the better.
Have a good one....
Oh, and how does a F150 own me?
