My headlights were pretty crusty. I thought for sure I would need to sand them, so I went out and got some 1000, 1200 and 1500 grit sandpaper at the hardware store. Then I saw a bottle of Sunnyside Plastic Cleaner sitting on the shelf before I got to the register. So I put the sandpaper back and bought the Plastic Cleaner (it was an ACE hardware store. The bottle is a trigger-type spray bottle.) I saturated the headlights with the product, and wiped them off with a soft cotton cloth (paper towels will SCRATCH plastic!) They looked a little better. Then I used Rain-X on them, and voila! they look great! I still might get new lenses eventually, but I was really amazed at how much an improvement this was, considering it took only 5 minutes. Something to think about before you start sanding plastic (Ouch! It hurts just to say it!) or shell out $100+ for new lenses.
