Foggy headlights, BEST product to fix?
My headlights are sandblased, fogged, whatever you want to call it.
I'd like to find some product to fix this.. I know it's out there but I just don't know which one to get.

Help me out? Thanks!

I used Meuguirs, it came with 2 different grit of sandpaper, wax and sealant. Worked great on my 2003 TL before I sold it and bought a Maxima.

Getting a cleaning kit from the auto parts store is the quickest. Wet sand stepping down in grit from 800-1000 to 2000 then using compound polish and finally lens or plastic polish does the best job
