Not only is this answer covered in the APPEARNCE FAQ: http://www.mx-3.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=28;t=000012

But it has also been discussed at lest 2 times in the last 20 days in this same APPEARANCE forum.

Man you guys got to lighten up a little.
Anyways, All you need to do is go to any Canadian tire and get a heavy oxidization polish and apply it three, to four times, and your lights will look brand new.
Good luck

Hey man-- I am not mad-- thats why I posted the link instead of just saying SEARCH.

All he had to do is look -- the title of the posts are "headlights"

( & BTW< I looked again & there is only one post-- the other is about the projector headlights. the fact remains, however, that it is posted in the FAQ about the headlights.)

hmm believe it or not...I cleaned mine with one of those wannabe armor all sprays, It wasnt armor all, but well. I was bored and I sprayed them then I rubbed for about 5 mins. And walla..they turned clear o.0 the foggyness went away and I got alot of people asking that uif theyb were new. I used a sock. Not sure how much the appearance will work but well its lasted a week including rain. Looks nice :D

I was going to buy some Honda projectors, because my headlight lenses were so foggy it was almost embarassing to drive my blaze red mx around. But instead, while I was on the message board, I read advice on cleaning the lenses.........and....... !! WOW !! The lenses looked 100% brand new!!
I used a car wax called Zymol, I waxed and polished 4 times..... I took my time doing this....... which round up being a few hours, but the results speak for itself.
The clean lenses make my ride look brand new now!

There is a place here where I live that sell this stuff called alpha grit. It is used to remove heavy oxidation from plastic. I used this stuff on my headlights and in only one application they looked almost new but I went ahead and did it 3 times and damn they look good now. A 8 ounce bottle was only five bucks and Ive used it about 10 times now on both lights and dtill have half a bottle or more left.

There's this sutff that I got at Canadian Tire. It's got a really weird name...it starts with an M. I paid like $12 for it and it works perfectly. Use it once a month or so and you'll have seriously clear lenses.

When I get home I'll put the proper name up. Good Luck.
