Default headlights repair kit?

does anyone know of any way to clean the headlights, cause mine are a lil' bit "foggy", and i'd like to make them look clear/new, i've seen/heard of kits that are sold at various advance auotoparts, autozone, and other 'remedies' to clean them. but i'd like to know if anyone in here actually knows which one works or which one would give me a better result.

thanks in advance

Mine are also, my dad cleaned his on his golf. Using like 1400grit sand paper and 1800grit(anywhere around there would be fine). Than using a buffer with polishing compound and they came out extremely clear. Only bad thing about this is it takes off whatever coating is applied to the headlights and after a year they will be foggy again but you just have to do this again. I was going to look into some kind of protectant or those headlight skins to try and make it last longer.

platix will only work to get the grazing off headlights if theyre not that bad... i used plastix then took invisible glass and a microfiber towel to them it removed alot of the grazing from mine mine are really bad tho.

~also if u have a bladk car i HIGHLY recommend turtle wax's color magic wax in black its amazing!! they make it for other color cars too but most places only sell black~
