Default cleaning jdm teg headlights

So I just picked up a Type-R JDM front clip with the black projectors and the lenses seem kind of faded. Anyone know the best way to make these look newer?

I use Meguiers sp? plastic polish, on a lot of clear plastic parts. Are the lenses plastic or glass, because it will make a difference.

If they are plastic then the plastic polish will work well. Your arms will be real tired afterwards.

well if you want a lot more work to do then sure, but I have had pretty good success with the meguiers plastic polish. Do you have a picture of what they look like?

use 800 grit wet then use a buffer with compound and it will look brand new.
