3M rubbing compound has worked the best for me.

hazy car headlights
I wet sanded mine with 800, 1200, and then 1600 grit sand paper. Next, I went over them with Turtle brand rubbing compound, and then waxed them with Turtle brand wax. This made a dramatic difference on my 1996 model truck. Not long after that, while driving at night, a bird flew into one of my headlights shattering the mounting tabs. I ended up getting a replacement set on eBay for $50.00.
If you get a cheap replacement set on eBay, also pick up a tube of clear silicone from your local parts store. Run a small bead around the seal where the lens meets the housing of the light. Use your finger to smooth the bead similar to how you would do caulking in a bathroom. I found out, by experience, that they don't seal the cheap ones that well. Water leaked into both of mine during the first rain after installing them. I returned them to the seller for another set. The new set also had poor sealing, which was visually obvious upon first inspection. I sealed them with the silicone and haven't had a problem since. |

Just did a 2003 VW GTI- 5 minutes total. Both lights. No multi-phase , sequentially layered 7 step methods for me.....
Ceramic polish used for Jennaire (or other brands) cooktop ceramic top. Almost good as new (new never happens). Time- % minutes, cost: minimal.
