So I did a quick, and i mean quick research on the simplest way to clean my headlights..they have, excuse me, HAD pretty bad hazing and yellowing on them. I went to autozone today and picked up a bottle (dnt ask for the brand at the moment) of headlight lense restorer. It has a blue top and the fluid is blue. I also bought a 100% cotton terry cloth and spreaded and buffed as the directions said..I was so excited about the results I did my dad's truck . I have a few before and after pics:

AFTER I GOT HOME AND DID IT A SECOND TIME:

 

nice job. i had to do the same to mine.

 

thanks! i was thinking about going with a new set of headlights but this just put things into focus. I think ill wait for the new headlights later on down the road.

 

cool but theres still room for improvement.

 

yea..i just need to buff it with a buffer to get the scratches out because i tried to get the haze off with a brillo pad couple months ago

 

LOL what are all those rocks doing there?

 

haha i saw those rocks and was like wtf is up with those!

 

i used them as a ramp because my car would always hit the side of the dip..but it doesnt do it anymore..i havent cleaned up the left over rocks tho

 

it was actually once a whole brick.

 

my friend uses a metal polish to buff those out too..i think it work even better then a plastic polish..but he said u can also use a fine wet sand paper to do that too..

 

i was too "scared" to use the sand paper..i didnt want to mess anything up, you know..

 

DUDE!!! you have told me what polisher you used !!!

me wants some of those stuff !!

 

im not sure on the name..just go to autozone and pick a bottle up of Headlight lense restorer (thats what the bottle says)

 

A simple cleaner wax or any rubbing compound should do the trick.

Also, wet sanding with very fine grit sand paper, followed some rubbing compound or cleaner wax also does the trick for headlights that are pretty bad.

 

i had the headlight lens restorer stuff with the blue top, and it worked okay.
since then i've found that polishing compund works better, but it doens't last very long. i have to do it about once a month
