Ask Cars: Fixing foggy headlights (lemmy.ca)

I'm assuming I can polish the plastic on the headlights in my 2006 Toyota Matrix. I plastic is still "clear", but all the road grit over the years have pitted and fogged the surface. Any advice on material for polishing?

I've had excellent luck with this kit from Sylvania.

The two cars I've used it on had their headlights stay clear after I polished them since you coat them with a UV protective layer. Make sure to follow the instructions! If it says to polish for X minutes, make sure you polish for X minutes. It'll take some time but it's totally worth it.
