    get the 3m lense restore kit. it comes with sandpaper discs, rubbing compound and a drill attachment. i successfully restored my pitted foglights to looking brand spankin new w/ this kit. i will forever be a believer of it! little scary taking a rotary drill w/ a sandpaper attachment to your headlights...but totally worth it if you follow the instructions and they will look new again!

    I did this same thing except I used regular turtle wax and a lot of elbow grease.

    I'm quit happy with the results.
