I know there are many ways to clear up headlights, but I learned a new way that was rather quick. I did both my lights and my girlfriends and it worked just as the guy stated on YouTube. I used a Porter Cable but I do believe you can do it with a hand pad or drill as well, and I used it with Mothers metal Polish. I just smeared the polish on the lights with my fingers and then buffed them to a clear glass and then followed it up with some clear Polish for UV protection. Just thought I would share since it can be done rather quickly with some good results.

This headlight was completely yellow and this was the first pass with the Polish.

 

Have heard that works pretty well. You may want to give some thought to going back and putting a layer or two of clear on it while it is fresh. To help with the longevity of it

 

Glenn,

I've used a no name brand of Kitchen glass top cleaner/polish and had similar results. I believe pretty much any super fine polish would work. As for clear coating the lenses after cleaning . . . haven't tried anything like that yet.

Got to be careful with the plastic. Almost anything will clean them. Any bug spray with DEET in it will clean them nicely. but not sure of how it will affect the plastic

 

OFF insect repellant and a clean rag works also. Saw that on uTube also, lol!

 

A little late but DO NOT use bug spray!
The reason it works is because it eats away at the plastic, and not in a good way.

Use 2000 grit sand paper
and then a compound
and then a polish
and then clear coat it with a 2k clear.

That will give you a very very clear headlight. AND it will be protected from the UV rays with the clear coat.
