While those things work sorta ok, lemme tell u how to really clean ur lights usin some degreaser an autosol metal polish.

1)You can get Purple blaster degreaser and a tube of Autosol at any auto shop.
2)Using the degreaser wash the light rubbing vigorously with a soft cloth.
3) Rinse immediately THOROUGHLY.
4)Polish the light according to the instruction leaflet. Done.

All plastic headlamps fade after a while. Oil deposits as well as dirt accumulate on roadways from vehicles, when it rains, the car in front of you sends a spray or mist onto your car. This mist carries a percentage of oil and dirt mixture which adheres to the plastic. This constant coating of oil with dirt along with the natural aging of the plastic is what causes your light to fade.

I have used this method personally on my own vehicle with great results, try it.

Autosol will remove the paint and have your light looking new.

Yes, the turtle wax kit will actually sand down the paint in stages and then polish.
