So it was a necessity that I get my headlights cleaned.
I found some free-time this weekend and did it.
So here's my little Review (I Guess)
I used Rain X Headlight Restoration.
It's fairly priced at $15.00

All's Included with a simple, easy step by step guide on the outside of the box.
It takes about 5-10 Minutes.
It was easy and the results i got were good![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

I've used Blue Magic headlight restorer with very good results. I imagine they are all similar.
I've found that it's best to use a light pressure when polishing and a very clean cloth with more pressure for buffing. It doesn't take much to remove the grime and you want to be able to buff out as much of the scratching as possible.
BTW, why is the "before" picture of the wrong headlight?

I picked up this $20 kit from Advance Auto to fix my girlfriend's headlights, which were horridly yellow. It was a silver pouch with pictures an old Ford Winstar on the front, and I got to tell you, it's the best thing I've ever used and the results carry a lifetime warranty. Whole thing took like 20 minutes for both lights too.

^^ You still have very small microscratches, looks alot better though... I forgot which headlight restoration it is but it has a sealant that fills in all the small microscraches after you wet sand it... I think 3000 grit sand paper and wetsanding the headlights you dont get those microscratches...

It was wet sanded and had rubbing compound applied after that.
