front headlight starting to look like dooky

so my front headlight is starting to oxidize I think.
It looks like crap, it looks like oxidized paint, so thats what I think is happening to it.
what can I do to fix this, besides trying wet sand and buff the headlight, or buying a new one.

prolly no chance it would be covered under warranty....

thanks guys!

I don't know how bad yours are but.... I use a plastic cleaner..(don't know the name off hand) I use it everytime I wash the car.

You apply it like a wax... Rub on..wait till it's a haze... Rub off... the more you do it... the cleaner it becomes...

Plexis or the aircraft 360 (it's something like that) are plastic protectors/cleaners that you can use to get that haze off.

well I went down to autozone and picked up some
"blue magic"
headlight restorer, and it worked fantastic, I shoulda took before and after pics.
but it was just like you said.
you rub it in like wax and then rub it off.
I think it has verry small gritty stuff in it, so it kinda sands down the plastic verry slightly.
thanks for the info guys
