PlastX didn't halp, need more halp

Got some extra money floating around and want to fix some paint on my bumpers and junk. One think I need to do is remove the yellowing from my headlights. I have used PlastX before with okay results, but the yellow came back shortly after. Before I wet sand, i saw that some people use a compound and polish. But I don't know what exactly I'm looking to buy. I don't think they need to be wetsanded, but PlastX never really helped me. I also don't have immediate access to a drill. What are my options?

If you have bad yellowing, you need to wet sand it prior to using PlastX... I didn't think mine needed to be wet sanded, but I did it anyway. See here: https://g35driver.com/forums/care-de...ml#post5833126

I used turtle wax rubbing compound and a orbital buffer. You can get the compound for like $10 and orbital buffer for like $20-30.

Make sure you wax, seal, or both, your headlights after polishing.
