Default How do you clear up foggy headlight?

My headlights are quite foggy and want to clear that up..
I read in the forum about some products..I don't remember what they are...

try plexus first... (buy at most marine stores)

if that doesn't do it move up to plastx (found at pepboys, autozone, etc)

I just did my headlights this weekend by PC, and they came out perfect. Not sure if you can get the same by hand, but I'm sure it'll take alot of rubbing.

I used some stuff from walmart called 10 minute optical restorer or something. It's like 10 bucks or less and you just put the polisher onto a regular drill, spray the polisher with water, and then buff the headlight for about 10 minutes. Mine came out a lot clearer.
