Does anyone have any suggestions about cleaning headlights? The plastic headlight covers on my 2001 jetta are starting to peel and turn yellowish

    The only thing to do is replace them, however if you have a little
  time and want to try this, it helps. Use 1500 or 2000 grit wet sand
  paper and sand the entire clear area using water and the above
  sand paper, the headlights will then be clean but gray looking from
  the sand paper, then use a small buffer with polishing compound
  to remove the gray sanding marks, polish untill bright and new
  looking ( well as poss )  You should finish up with Maguries
  swirl remover and the buffer. The swirl remover can be purchased
  at automotive paint stores.
