I just found a cool, simple, cheap and easy trick and wanted to share it. Just take an old toothbrush and use tooth paste on the lens, rinse it all off good..... and BAM!  Attachments:

I use this stuff called Gel-Gloss. It's for polishing fiberglass boats, marble countertops etc.. It's basically a polish/wax. Any decent car polish/wax should work.
The Gel-Gloss makes foggy speedo lenses clear again.

I've used metal polish with pretty good results. Worst thing is, it's not always on the outside of the lens. My mother's '01 GT (headlights like the pic) had bad discoloration and half of it was inside the lens.

I've used Plexus with good results. It was developed for the aircraft industry, and I've used it extensively when detailing show cars for auto shows and conventions. Toothpaste works since it acts as a mild abrasive, which is how it polished your enamel as well. For deeper stains and pits, you'll need a stronger abrasive though. Perhaps even fine-grit automotive sandpaper if it's really bad.

So the consensus is that a fine abrasive polish/wax is the ticket!  |

Just had to put my input. Auto tech teacher showed me that using wet 1000grit sand paper in a horizontal fashion then moving up progressively to 3000grit then buffing works well. Did it on my mother's headlights and it worked like a charm.

I concur with Suprtigr and the tech teacher. I painted cars for a while and this the technique we used. Wet sand and buff. We used a buffing sponge attached to a drill. Like the ones you can buy for cleaning rims. Mother's polish sells a nice one. They shine like fresh chrome if done right. Just remember to follow the same pattern no ziggy zaggy or circles.
