Then polish them with anything from PlastX to almost any polishing compound and you're done. Which grit paper you need to start with depends on how far gone they are, but it's amazing just how far gone these things can be and still come back to life.

Once you've brought 'em back, either recoat them or just use some plastic polish on them once a month. It will take you a whopping 60 seconds per light every month to do this, so if you're too busy to give one minute a month to each headlight, well.......
Always nice to here your suggestions Mike.
My headlights are so bad they de-fuzzed the buffing wheel thingy that came with the kit I bought. Time to break out the sandpaper.
Thanks.
