Very Foggy Headlight Lens
Hi,
How have you guys been clearing up your road rash-induced foggy headlight lamp pods? I thought about using some polishing compound or a fine-grit polish paper/cloth. But I figured that the best those things would do is create shine on a opaque surface, and not make a clear lends -- *clear*. If anything, any fine polish would only make the lamp pods even more foggy.
What to do?
Does any of this stuff actually work (?):

What brand and version of the polish compound works best? Ideally, I don't want to go through several stages of polishing steps -- I just want to squeeze out the subject compound on a piece of cloth and wipe until clear -- any company makes this?
Clearly this only works on the Z's plastic lens and not on glass, right? Or do they make compounds for both? I just need the plastic version.
Thanks!

Tons of Foggy\Hazy\ Headlight trends already.
I used Plastx and a buffer and mine came out golden.
Here is an after shot. Did not get a before shot but I live in Vegas where temps hit 120 degrees so you can imagine the damage it did.
