I'll bite my tongue and not say Search (OK so no I guess I didn't, lol) but there are multiple threads/posts for this. Usual answer is Plastix from McGuires. Any slightly abrasive polish/scratch remover will work though. I use 3M Swirl Remover whenever I wash the car - extra 5 minutes and keeps them looking clear and shiny.

Just go to your local auto parts store and buy a headlamp restoration kit.

One of our members recently polished the headlamps with excellent results. Did you read the thread?
