I have used Turtle Wax Polishing Compound with great results. It comes in a white and green plastic tin. Use a small amount on a clean cloth that has been soaked in water and rung out. Gently scrub in a circular motion and do not use a lot of force. Keep rinsing and repeating till the headlights are clear. Do not try and do it all at once. Take your time and be gentle. One last point, DO NOT use the rubbing compound (white and red tin) which is much more abrasive. It has to be the POLISHING compound. Good luck!

There's at least a half dozen ideas in the Healing Hazy Headlamps guide.



Gentle scrubbing with gel toothpaste is my favorite. :-)
