Headlights cleaner?

The 3M restoration kit is legit.

Be warned, by polishing the headlights you'll likely be removing what's left of the UV protection, and you'll have to buff it down again in the future.

Mine are getting dull as well. Is the UV protection gonna be an issue with any headlight restoration you use?

Pretty much. Anything that polishes the plastic is going to do it.

Have always heard that using toothpaste works. It contains microscopic abrasives. Haven't tried it myself tho.

Sylvania headlight restoration kit gets my vote. It works great and has UV blocker clearcoat to prevent the headlights from yellowing easily.
