detailedimage.com and autogeek.net make plastic polishes. I've used the wolfgang plastic cleaner w/a 4 inch LC orange pad. Used it with the PC, it works great. My mom's 2003 I35 headlights were horrible, now they look brand new.

I've used Meguire's PlastiX with mixed results. I've only used it a couple of times after washing my car. About 2 weeks later, I saw the haze/build up again. Perhaps, I need to do this a few more times in order for it to take full effect? But, there are a few products out there...and as another member said, if you do a search, you'll find a few different approaches/products to handle the haze on the headlights.

I've used the wolfgang plastik lens cleaner and the diamondite clear plastic enhancer. Both work 100% better than plastiX

The headlights actually have a UV coating on them that prevents them from turing yellow. When you wetsand the lights, you take a lot of this coating right off and the lights will haze over much worse later on.

PlastX and similar products just polish the outer surface and don't remove much material.

You need to repeat it however. I usually PlastX and apply 2-3 coats of wax every 1-2 months
