Headlight Lense Cleaning/Polishing
Anybody tried any of the various cleaners/polishers to get rid of the haze on headlight lenses?
My 99 is badly fogged over and is seriously reducing the light output.
It all appears to be on the outside of the lense.
Suggestions welcomed,
Rob

I had just recently seen a demo on TV where they had used tootpaste to polish the headlight lenses. The results were pretty impressive. A soft cloth, elbow grease, and toothpaste made the lenses look brand new.

I've used a plastic polish in the past, and it's worked great. It's big for cleaning the Jeep soft windows. My light output was drastically reduced compared to my Bronco, so I opted for some new clear headlight assemblies instead of working on my original ones.

When I was redoing my first trucks headlights and tailights I just wet sanded and then clear coated with rattle can. As long as take care to prevent runs it looks totally brand new.
As I type this I think to myself that I'd start out with the plastic polish and try the rattle can last. An Expidition is a nice vehicle, not a college kids junker so start with the right stuff first.
