How deep is your scratch? Is it a hairline scratch? If so you can first thoroughly clean the headlights, then use a product called Meguiar's Plastix which cost only $5. I've used this a few times & it worked great. I'm sure there are others out there but this the one I used. BTW...Make sure you use the sponges used for waxing the car or a microfiber towel when applying.



Meguiar's has adapted the same Microscopic Diminishing Abrasive Technology, (MDAT), used in their paint polishes to produce a powerful, yet safe plastic cleaner. Meguiar's Plastx is a rich gel formula that works on rigid and flexible plastics to remove light oxidation, chemical degradation, surface contamination, stains and fine surface scratches with ease. Plastix works on hard plastics such as boat and aircraft windows, motorcycle fairings, face shields, instrument panels and the clear, flexible plastics used in side curtains and camper tops. Plastx contains highly water-resistant polymers which leave a long lasting, protective coating on the plastic to keep the surface clean and spot free longer.
