i ask because ive never had a car (even parked 24/7 outdoors) that had dull lenses like that.
Mostly from UV damage from direct sunlight and/or oxidation to the plastic which causes them to yellow. I try to hold off as long as possible from doing any wet sanding since manufacturers usually apply some sort of UV coating.

just be careful when using sandpaper, 2000 grit is good but dont do it too many times. it'll eat through the clear coat eventually, and the haze will come back sooner the next time around
