Default Faded Headlights

Does anyone know of anything that will take off the stuff off the headlights that leaves them looking faded?

You may get better results if you wet sand the headlights first by using 2000 grit sand paper.

That Plastic X stuff works like 01neon said. I have a 00 and my headlights are fine.

Try 3M fine cut rubbing compound, works great on all kinds of plastics. If there real bad try like srtgtr34 said and wet sand with 2000 grit before buffing with the 3M.
