Picked up turtle wax headlight lens restorer for about $12 bucks and I have to say it works. Its a simple do it by hand kit, includes 3 pads of different grits, lubricant spray and lens compound. It also comes with a wet cloth with sealant to seal your lens when your done. That's my only gripe with the kit, should come with more lens sealer wipes. 1 is enough for 2 headlights and that's it. Not sure if turtle wax sells these separately.
One of my headlights was especially bad. It had a big rough hazy spot in the middle of the headlight. Here's a before pic
I wet sanded with all 3 pads (3rd pad has 2 different grits). I wet sanded for about a minute with each pad, took away most of the rough feeling. Lens looks good, i'm happy with the 12 bucks I spent and it couldn't have been easier. This was my first lens restoration kit I've tried, I was a little skeptical but I'm satisfied with the results. The headlights don't look brand new, but they look 80 percent better I would say.
