the meguiars plastic-x or whatever is available in a few of the automotive stores like baxter. worked pretty well for a little haze i had, but we used a bit on a 95 SC during an oregon meet and it was wildly amazing. the headlights went from a dirty opaque to nearly perfect. we couldn't see what was inside, but now you can see the actual headlights/projectors

Yet another vote for Meguiar's PlastX. This stuff makes old headlight and tailight lenses look factory new.
I've seen it at AutoZone, NAPA, Blain's F&F, and Target around here.
