Cleaned my headlight lenses today
Used my cordless drill with buffing compound and then final polished it with Plastic X by Meguirs. They used to be all yellow. They look as good as new.

I appreciate the feedback guys. I work at a small Mfg firm where our production employees buff acrylic and plastic using rubbing compund and Plastic X to fix flaws. These guys do this all day long and really know what they're doing. I asked them for advice and they were all too willing to help. They use 3M 3" Cotton buffing pads that are attached via velcro to a spindle.
I was unable to find these at a local store so they let me "borrow" some. The rubbing compund that they use comes in a gallon jug. It is fairly gritty and really works well. They poured some in a small container for me to take home. great bunch of guys. If I can help you guys in anyway, please let let know.
