Another strange problem. Always strange

Hey guys so once again I got a weird problem with my car. I have the 03 headlights on my car. So they got kinda blurry and I took it to a pro to get them polished. The passenger light looks brand new now but the driver side will not polish out? What do u guys think it is? Maybe its dirty from the inside?

I recall when I tried this on my C32, that the lights have a UV (?) clearcoat of some sort on them. The clearcoat polishes really nicely, but I'm guessing that they did like I did, got over zealous, and "polished" it right off. Mine never looked the same without it despite all my best efforts. Ended up replacing the assembly.

they need to be recleared. Wet sand down with 2000 grit and get them cleared by a bodyshop.
