I wouldn't use never dull unless its really bad and you have tried everything else. The chemical is a litter harder on the plastic. Maguires or mothers plastic polish will do the trick.

I usually just use wax and it keeps it shiny. I just said eagle one never dull because I saw the article on http://www.team-integra.net .
How well does the mothers plastic polish work ? Any before and after pics ?

you can use regular car polish. you don't need anything fancy. I've heard toothpast works too.

toothpaste works as a filler. to really cut the layer of yellow/dirt, you need a plastic polish like meguiar's plastx. a few minutes under the heat of my porter cable and it's good as new.

take 2000 grit and wet sand. it sounds scrary but it really hard to mess up if you just use 2000. then let it dry and polish with Meguires PlastX just follow the instructions on the bottle and ur lights will look close to brand new. Also did this on my 89 Ranger cleaned them right up and they were so oxidized that it was pointless to turn the headlights on.

well i am a detailer, and personally i like to use Meguiar's Plastix.
or even a fine buffing compound.
best way is if you have a buffer, a small on and use the meguiars. but by hand it works very well also.

wax has no stripping/cleaning power so it will not work.
