I <3 Meguiar's PlastX
My boyfriend and I decided to purchase a bottle of Meguiar's PlastX to try to remove the haze and nastyness from our headlights - he has a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee Orvis and I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. Let me say that I love this stuff. I thought that I would have to purchase an entirely new set of headlights or pry the old ones apart to clean the inside, but a four dollar fix was exactly what I needed. I recommend it.

It wasn't hard at all. I used a 4 in" pad and applied the PlastX in a circular motion. It says to start with a small area at a time. I did about two or three layers and wiped off the excess with a soft cloth. It's similar to waxing your car, except no muscle is required to remove the extra stuff. You can get great results doing it manually, but I'm betting using a buffer would make it come out twice as nice.

I tried this PlastX and it didnt really work for me... my headlights look more hazy now than they did before... all I had to wet sand with was 800 grit... do you think I can clear it up if I get some 1000, 1500, and 2000 grit and then use the PlastX???

For best results: Spray your headlight with soapy water and then use 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 grit sandpaper. Finish it off with Plast-X applied with a Mothers Powerball.
Mine look brand new now.

cbr: You did a great job - your lights look great.
mHOVA: I didn't let mine dry completely, if I remember. Don't treat it like a wax, more like a cleanser. I applied and removed excess a few times, then again my lights were HORRIBLE.

I just tried this on my foglights since I swapped to Silverstars. It made a very slight difference, so then I turned a 15min job into a 2 hour project and sanded them.
I'll make a post in a bit with pics before Plastx, after plastx, and after sanding and plastx.
