Default Hazed head lights

What can be done to restore these? They seem to have microscopic cracks and oxidation on them. Can I spray them with clear or buff them? I have replacements coming, but I would like to salvage my existing ones.

Try plastic cleaner. Just go to any automotive store (advance, autozone, etc) and ask for plastic headlight cleaner. Wetsanding and buffing is NOT the answer.

I'll try the plastx. Good thread for the end of summer for the people with the sun faded lenses. I'll try a cleaning product. If that doesn't work I'm gonna go with wet-sanding and buffing to see if that helps. Thanks for the threads. I appreciate it.
