G35 headlight ?
First you'll need to buy a green laser pointer from eBay and open it up and modify it to increase it's light output.
Next you'll want to get Colgate Total Plus Whitening (make sure you get the Gel) and mix it with Mothers wheel polish, corn starch, and the blood of a virgin at a ratio of 21 : 31 : 3 : 7
Apply the mixture in a thin layer to your headlights and shine the laser on them just long enough to make the mix "set" but not so long you get a "burn in" it's kinda a by-feel thing.
Buff of with a little extra virgin blood. MAKE SURE YOU BUFF IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION!
Counter clockwise for the driver side, clockwise for the passenger side.
Alternately, if this is too much trouble, you could try using the search

^ LOL
I've previously used PlastX which works for a few months and needs to be applied but I recently had a detail shop get to it with an orbital polisher and whatever compound they used and they are crystal clear and will hopefully last much longer.

To the OP: Search it around the forums, or even Google for that matter. But it requires wetsanding, compound, and buffing.

Just use toothpaste... any descent toothpaste (toothpaste is little more than flavored polish with some very mild detergents), and rub it into the headlight with a microfiber towel (this is like a very mild wet sand). Use about 3/4 teaspoon per headlight. Using a circular motion, cover the area to be "polished" for about 30 seconds, then take it off with the other side of the towel. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Finally, apply a highly durable sealant like Nu-Finish or Collinite 845 and wipe it off once it's dried like you would if it was on your car paint.
This should last your headlight about 2-4 months. This is just as effective as anything on the market, but costs only about 25 cents. There is no evidence that expensive chemicals are superior.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

Only thing that did was plastX on a DA sander with a terry cloth pad.

I used to use toothpaste to rub out scratches in CD's that didn't play anymore... worked for most, but some were too far gone. Had to make sure the toothpaste had baking soda in it though iirc...

It may have been the sander that did the work-- try applying the toothpaste to the lens and then use the sander. You should get the same results for $6-7 dollars less than PlastX.
