Picked up the Turtle Wax kit for $10 at Autozone. Decided to go at the headlights last night. Turned out great! I left the lights on the car to spare the headlight gaskets and it worked just fine. I think it took longer to tape off the headlights than the do the cleaning. But they are pretty dang clear now, and the light output is definitely much improved. I'm keeping the bottle of the lens restoring compound to use every few months to keep them in good shape. Not a bad deal for $10. Hopefully will get the pics up later once I get home from work.
