If you have an older car and the plastic headlights are looking a bit 'foggy', here's a tip that worked well on my car. I picked this trick up from my Brittish car days and plastic convertible top windows.
Get some "Happich" brand German made metal polish, yep, metal polish known as Simichrome polish. Get an old t-shirt or similar soft cotton cloth and a couple hours time. As you apply the polish, keep using the same area of the rag so that the polish builds up on the rag. As you are polishing away, the rag will become hot under your fingers! This indicates you're getting somewhere with the effect. After working the polish in for a while, take a clean area of the rag and buff the headlight where you've been polishing and you'll find the road film / 'fog' to be reduced or eliminated! It won't however, remove heavy scratches like were on my headlights, but it does make scracthes a bit less noticible.
Makes the $200.00 ( Each!) for the headlight pods postphoned a while longer!
P.S. DON'T use a power buffer! It'll probably melt your headlight!!
Happy MPG! 8)
