Is that the main factor that causes the hazing? I've often wondered what causes it as I see lots of cars newer than mine with the issue but I've never had a car with it. I hand wash 99% of the time, I only go to a car wash during very long cold spells.

It is part of the problem, but not all of it. The primary issue is that they are now made of plastic, car washes do leave soap and other chemical films and the sun oxidizes both.
Fitting your Jag with a nice pair of Oakleys when it is out in the daytime will help prevent damage. Make sure you get complete UV coverage spectrum lenses! |

My bad. Someone told me to use Autosol a while back on my foggy headlights, but I wasn't paying close attention. Now I know why it didn't work worth a bloody shit.....

Got mine couple of days ago. Tried it on my 2000 F150 and sure enough, it worked just like the videos. Took only 5 minutes for both lenses.

I used the Turtle Wax One Step Headlight Restore this past weekend on my wife's '05 Lexus to great effect, but will look for the AutoSol Metal Polish next time.

I had a '66 Pontiac sedan with a bad heater core. I spent an entire weekend trying to get to that thing. Finally gave up, bypassed it, and lived without a heater all winter. That was fun. Then I blew up the engine, thus fixing the problem for good.

We don't know that doesn't work. The cops keep busting people for trying to clean their own headlights before we get a chance to find out if it works. (There's a couple puns in there, but damned if I can find them.)
