    I actually read somewhere on this forum to use dryer fabric softener sheets. I take a couple at a time, wet them down and scrub the whole front of our vehicles. Works amazing

    I actually used the Turtle Wax restoration kit on my Rigid fog light lenses a couple of months ago. It did wonders. Get them to where you are happy with them, and then have PPF installed as mentioned. I just had it installed on my Morimoto XB's after my warranty replacement. They were replaced under warranty due to hazing on the lenses.

    Clay bar the lights, then if they are slightly discolored or yellow I used MacQuires wheel polish on them. Work the polish in good then use a terry towel to wipe off. You can repeat if necessary. The dam stuff really cleaned up my headlights.

    Yes, it works along with the addition of swirls. Would recommend Shine Supply Bug Off before using a dryer sheet. Works like a charm especially for those that have been on there a while.

    Also, after you get the lights clean again I suggest putting a clear protection film on them. It will actually hide many of the imperfections and keep them looking good.
