That cloud is just light refracting through the lens haha... Try it with glass and a flashlight. You'll see the same thing.
It does look like your lens are pretty scratched up. I know you have compound, but you should go get the headlight cleaner kit because your compound might be a little too rough. Also you need headlight protectant otherwise the lens will get oxidized in ~6 months. |

Isn't Meguiars ultimate compound just as good or better than Meg's PlasticX? |

I just used this mothers kit on my girls headlights and they came out great. It includes a stepped sanding pad kit, the polish and a polishing wheel for $20.
However, like 'dominators' stated, the light will always do this through the lens to a degree. |
