headlamp cleaning help

Hey guys I know there might be a post on this but I didn't know what to look for and I need you guys' help. I have an "03 and the headlamps look like they are getting faded and was wondering what would be the best product or method used to clean up the plastic and really make them shine like new again or else I'm just gonna have to wait for the 2006 to come out where I can buy their projectors.

Thanks for any suggestions

Meguiars PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish

First coat should do the trick... If needed, second coat will make it look perfect!

After you get the finish you're looking for, use Plexus on a regular basis after each car wash.
Good luck

3m plastic cleaner followed by 3m plastic polish.

NOTHING is better than that, but its expensive, and its gonna be hard for you to find it. (do it ONLINE, did not find it at stores).

I would NOT use it on a clear bra .. I never tried, but would think it's to aggressive for the film of a bra.
