How can I restore the headlights on my car?

The perspex on the headlights of my 2013 My Suzuki Alto were starting to go misty so I cleaned them up with T-Cut which removed the misting. However I have recently noticed that the plastic on the headlights is starting to craze, is this just something that happens or is it because I used T Cut ?

You can use T-Cut to remove haziness from headlights, but it is important to use a lacquer or sealant afterwards to avoid the plastic misting again. It is unlikely that the T-Cut caused the crazing - it may have been present already but hidden by the hazing, as this is something that can happen to plastics over time.
