Default Anyone know how to restore lens on headlights??

I 've been wanting to do the Whistler mod but would like to restore the lens on my headlights first due to some fogging on the top of the lens. If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

I went to pepboys and there is a headlight restoration kit that is about $15 or so its in a silver bag. It comes with a pair of gloves, 2 types of sanding paper, several applying clothes, and 2 types of chemicals. its about a 30 min job, but I took 2 days because I wanted to make sure I did a very good job.
