Default Headlight restoration

Does anyone know of a cleaner that will take the foggyness and haze off headlights that i can find around my house, i dont want to buy a $30 dollar product and use it once.
Thanks

And one to take the "yellow" out of them as well. My GF has a Taurus and her headlight lenses are turning yellow and if you want to replace them you have to replace the whole headlight unit and I'm not gonna spend that kinda cash on a car like that.

Thats what I was going to recommend, it's probably the best stuff-for the head light!

i picked up that plastX stuff and it works pretty good. i only sat down and did it for about 30 minutes so you can still tell which one was fogged but there is a big difference.

im sure if i sat down and did it again it would look new again but im lazy.

Remember, the foggyness can also be on the inside of the lense. So unless you took it apart it and cleaned it. it will stay that way
