Almost any kind will do...if you think about it, toothpaste is a kind of polish. I did a few more polishings after the first time and now You can't tell the light was ever fogged up at all.

Guys,
yet another source you can use for those famous egg cups...http://www.mcmaster.com/
do a search on this part : 1811T43 Type 304 Stainless Steel Mixing Container 2-1/2 Ounce Cup, 2-3/8" Top Outside Diameter - In stock at $1.26 Each
Seems like you could drill to fit two of these in airbox and seems much cheaper way than previous link to other ones at $20 each!
hope this helps

Toothpaste for cleaning headlight lenses
Wow! I would have never thought of using toothpaste for cleaning my SC-400 headlight lenses but I just tried it and it really works. I had tried Meguiar's Clear Plastic Detailer and it helped some, but the toothpaste did a much better job in only a few minutes. Thanks for the tip.

...
just in case, here is the pic of where I put the insulation tape to block off the hot air from the engine, in addition it should go along the sides too, which isn't shown on the pictures...
the tape should be sandwiched between the heat shield cover and the airbox...
