i've used blue magic's plexiglass cleaner on my old headlights and it worked like a charm.
btw - i generally apply a coat of wax on my headlights when i wax my car. if it doesn't help, it's for peace of mind.![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Removing Oxidation or scratches from vehicle headlights, or brake lights (polycarbonate)
In the late 1980’s, vehicle manufacturers changed the lighting lens system materials used for head lights from glass to Lexan (plastic) The lens starts to exhibit an opaque appearance and then a yellow hue on the outside of the lenses due to ultra violet radiation (UVR) and / or surface scratches this can severely restrict the amount of light reaching the road. Original equipment material (OEM) suppliers started to add a UVR protection to the surface of the lens in an attempt to reduce this condition and prolong the usable life of the lens.
Use these products for finishing plastics, acrylics, Lexan polycarbonates, Bakelite, urethanes, composites, and more. Abrasive colours of this product range from dark grey to light grey. This material can be used wet or dry, is made with a flexible cotton backing with polymer emulsion cushioning layer and large micron graded silicon carbide crystals suspended in an ultra flexible resin bond. Grades 8000 and 12000 are made with aluminium oxide crystals.
This material is available in the following nine grades, from course to fine: 1500, 1800, 2400, 3200, 3600, 4000, 6000, and 8000, and 12000 regular. 1500 micro-mesh is equivalent to a scratch pattern left using 400-wet/dry, but is much more consistent.
Product specific - Scientific Instrument Services, Inc. - http://www.sisweb.com/micromesh/headlight_kits.htm
Alternative products- Novus 1 2 3 - http://www.modernplastics.com
Novus 1 - gently cleans all plastics without scratching, leaves a lustrous shine that resists fogging, repels dust, and eliminates static.
Novus 2 - removes fine scratches, haziness, and abrasions from most plastics (exceptional for removing scratches from Plexiglas). Use repeatedly and restore faded and discoloured plastics.
Novus 3 -removes heavy scratches and abrasions from most acrylic surfaces. Contains abrasives, not for use on eyeglasses, polycarbonate, or coated plastics, final finishing also requires the use of Novus 2

i used Turtle Wax polishing compound... it's a very mild abrasive that's used to remove caked-on debris from old paint. i used that principle and applied it with a round polishing pad to my '03 headlights and it removed that thick film of yellow haze in about 5 min. went over it twice, once to remove the grime, and twice to make the plastic nice and clear. cost: about 2.99 at Auto-Zone.... i'm definately satisfied till i get the '06 headlights

its only one bottle right? so you apply it and buff it off. the reason I ask is the other method if you follow the link, there are three different bottles.
Want to makesure I buy the right stuff.
