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.
