So,everyone has their own method of dealing with this, but here's my super budget method for you no-ballin suckas. First, my results:

and now...what I used:

This stuff is called 'Easy Scrub' and I picked it up at the dollar store on a whim for cleaning some tile in my new house. Well, seeing as how the edges of my garage are still chock full of 'stuff' from the move, I couldn't locate my rubbing compound to properly remedy the 'fog', but thought "what the hell". I was really surprised. By the way, the bottle was either $1 or $2, plus tax, and I just used a tiny bit, and not a whole lot of elbow grease.
Definitely worth the 2-3 minutes per light it took me. Hope this will help someone.

kool, wat did u use to scrub it with

just an old t-shirt I tore into rags. One to apply/rub and one 'dry' to remove the excess/film.

good find.. rubbing compound does wonders like you said specially if you use a buffer

I'd also like to add that if I had kept at it with this, I could have seen an even bigger improvement, it was just a little chilly outside with the wind coming off the lake, so I gave up within 10 minutes.

did you toothpaste does the same thing? It might take just a tab bit more effort

the thing that sucks is when the lights fog from the inside out like my dad's impala is doing. :(

Cool find though!

I tried it on another car a while back and wasn't really happy with it. I wasn't really expecting this to work 1% as well as it did/potentially could.

Or you can sand them and get rid of a layer, then resand with finer paper.

Does anyone know if the film, peel away headlight covers combat the fogging? I have pretty brand new projectors and don't want em fogged. I'm gonna pick up the covers anyway, just to have rock/bug protection, but it would be awesome if it helped fend off fogging too.

i think i would considering it cover the surface area.. just stating what i think would be the obvious

spray on clearcoat helps, too.

Forget toothpaste and sanding. None of those ****s work...not even together. I've tried them both...even at the same time, sanding with toothpaste :D Just kidding, not together but I have used both, one after the other and my headlights still look like ****. They're pretty damn smooth though :D

Spray on clearcoat also chips off if not applied properly... enter my del Sol.

weird, work on my girls headlights :thinking:

I tell you what works better...... Use some gease lightning to get the built up dirt off of the lense, which it's gonna dry it out so spray it on and rinse it quick. So to finish it off, use some turtle wax chrome polish. Apply it like it was wax. Let it set for about 10 minutes, and take a dry towel and buff it out. I garunteed you great results. If this don't work on yours, then you'll need to wet sand down the headlight with 1100 grit paper, then 1300 grit and then a light spray can clear coat. That should really make it look like new.

Also posted this link in your thread on GADSM. But I think it works here also. This is what buffing can do on example one and what clearing can do on example two.
