Can anyone suggest a good plastic lens restoration product that actually works?
I really don't want to pay $700 for a pair of Off-Shore headlights for the wife's Cadillac.
This may sound very simplified but I have used hand applied chrome polish on my KIA Optima headlights with great results. Just apply to a clean rag and hand polish to finish. Repeat as necessary. It works for me.

After reviewing this I'd like to clarify what I used to polish my headlights. It was not chrome polish but instead it was Mag and Aluminum polish. Sorry. It really does work good with only a little elbow grease. Now I can sleep at night lol.

A lot of the time a plastic polish isn't required if the headlights are in good condition as they have a clear coating and regular polish works. It's only after it delaminates, chips or gets thin that you may need both as the actual plastic surface is now exposed. Careful buffing too much, can easily make good headlights become bad headlights when it burns through.
I was looking at some today on a 2011 and was thinking I could buff it clear,but looked at directly infront of the light bulb and saw many cracks on the inside of lens.
So Im now looking at replacing the lens at $40 each vs $900 for headlights.
HID is neat until its time to replace.
