YES... Meguiars PlasticX is a great plastic oxidation remover which is Cheap and has some good results for removing the fading of headlights..I bought mine from the automotive section at walmart for 6-7 bucks. It helps to restore the headlights. You can use apply this a few times and buff off with a microfiber cloth with some elbow grease a few times and see some serious improvement. you can also get the mothers buffing ball also available at walmart that attaches to a drill and buff out more serious scratches with this liquid...it has a mild abrasive that breaks down soon after applying so avoid your car paint... Good luck!
See below for what the product is and how it works:

I can't afford the Headlight Restoration Kit from the Auto Parts store...is there something else?There is no home remedy that is truely safe and effective to use on plastic headlights to remove ( fogginess ) oxidation. Headlight kits at auto parts stores are basicly the same abrasive concept and you're correct in your analysis that they do not last. They can't.
Oxidation is a natural reoccurring event.
The commonly used abrasive method to remove oxidation causes permanent surface damage by removing the protective U.V. layer which leads clouding and eventually yellowing of the headlight lens surface.
They may look O.K for a month or to but the problem will return 10 fold.
There is a product that will remove the oxidation safely without risk of damage to the protective UV layer on your lens.
It is an Acrylic lens deoxidizer. It only removes oxidation and leaves the headlight U.V. layer intact.
It will last for a year or more depending on the environment you operate your vehicle in.
Unfortunately it cannot repair damage caused by common abrasive polishes and sandpaper kits.
An undamaged lens can be restored to a like new appearence and there is enough product to last the life of your car.
PITTMAN ORIGINAL ALR APC 360ID is the only product on the market that is designed to remove just the oxidation, It is pure liquid reacts in seconds and requires no tools.
You can find it online.
Since you have already used a low tech abrasive auto store kit previously, You may have to resurface your entire lens and that too will only last a short time.
All of those sandpaper kits will ruin your headlights, no matter what they cost, that may be why they are foggy now.
Sanding and buffing a transparent lens is risky and time consuming.
It destroys the Ultra Violet membrane and will cause the headlight to turn yellow. That stuff in that silver bag won't help in fact it will only make it worse. For plastic lens stay away from anything that uses abrasives.
You need a liquid acrylic deoxidizer.
It won't scratch or cause you lens to turn foggy.I can't afford the Headlight Restoration Kit from the Auto Parts store...is there something else?
You should given more thought to it before using sandpaper kits. Thats a temporary fix that causes more damage to the lens and once your lens is scratched up it cannot be fixed without some serious resurfacing using power tools and multiple grades of polish.
Sanding and buffing plastic headlights is counter productive.
The easiest way to fix foggy headlights is to use a liquid deoxidizer.
yes is a product coll AWESOME you can buy for $0.99 in most 99 stores or you can use find sand paper and water sand with water then after you Finis use wax and waxed or you just can use wax it work good or Polish
