Default How to Clean headlights?

I have the JDM ITR front end and my head lights don't look new anymore. They have small scratches and they are a little dull compared to when they were brand new. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to clean them so that they look new again?

Any quality plastic polish

3M and plexus are good choices

Hell you could even use a quality car polish (like 3M Swirl Mark Remover). Afterwards you will want to clean the headlights with rubbing alcohol since most car polishes have some filling oils that you don't want impairing the light.
