Sorry, it may have been polishing compound I used, I don't remember. My bad. I used this method a year and a half before my post, and I can't remember everything.

I had my buddy use his polisher at a med. rpm range and use a buffing coumpound. Cleared them right up. then he sprayed them with a lary of clear coat and they look brand new...but hey the easy way out is to buy headlight covers.

This is what i just used and it worked great. Obviously it didn't make it look brand new but it helped alot.
