Anybody have luck with headlight restoration?

I was looking at my wife's HL the other day. Even after a car wash, the headlights looked pretty shabby. They are starting to cloud over and turn yellow.

Has anyone tried a headlight restoration on these headlights? I've seen a few chemical kits out there but I'm skeptical of the results.

The only true way to clear up the lenses is to sand them down and polish them back with progressively finer and finer micromesh abrasives. I was taught how to perform this process in A&P school so I know how labor intensive this process is.

Haven't need to do them on my HL - but have done them on the plastic headlights other 7, 8, 9 yr old cars. Some Megiuars Fine Cut Cleaner (or Glaze),, electric drill and buffing pad. Doesn't take much time.

I have the micro mesh polishing kits too - have used them for rear taillight restores -- they do a good job too, but time consuming...

OK?

Go to any motorcycle dealership near you ... Harley, Honda, Kaw, whatever ... and get a bottle of Novus #2 plastic polish. You might be able to find it at Autozone, Advance Auto, etc., also. Apply a bit of Novus to a soft cotton towel and rub it on the lens ... rub it vigorously. Then wipe off. Check your work. If you need another application, get after it. Novus #2 will do the job probably better than any other product on the market ... just my opinion based on years of using Novus on motorcycle windshields, helmet face shields, goggles, and shatter-resistant plastic glasses.
