so yea,, for a cheep solution.. go pickyourself up a set or two and try them out... what do you have to loose.. putting a bnuch of really little scratches into a headlight thats already screwed up!..

ps break parts cleaner doesnt work to clean them... it actually does the opposite and causes the oxydation just way faster
I agree, if the lens is already scratched up abrasive cleaners are the solution. A deoxidizer won't remove the scratches. But if its just oxidation, use a deoxidizer. You want to keep the UV layer intact as long as possible to resist yellowing of the lens.
And it is true that brake cleaner along with brasso, toothpaste, pam, sandpaper and rubbing compounds will hasten the return of oxidation because they remove the UV layer and leave the surface in a porous condition.
