Default Plastic cleaner (headlights)

In my search for plastic cleaner. I have a little fogging in my headlights. I found this stuff. http://www.brightsolutionsinc.com/?source=overture Anyone ever use this stuff. I am also considering Mothers, Meguiers or Plexus plastic cleaners.

Which would be the best to get out a little fog and protect?

I use Meguiars Plastic cleaner. But it all depends on how bad it is. These cleaners and polish can only do so much. If its really bad replace the entire headlight.

I used Novus 3 Stage polish on my headlights... and actually had to use the third stage they were so bad. It worked pretty well but I think the best way to go is with Wet-sanding.

All in all I couldn't get all of the deep scratches/pits out, but it made them much more transparent and got rid of all the million tiny scratches. Now they are shiny

No it's not that bad but there is a little fog starting to develop. Trying to nip it in the bud. Maybe I'll try Meguiars or something first then move into the heavy duty 2-3 step processes if it doesn't work. Novus seems good, also 3M, and Meguiers.

Sooo many products they probably all work about the same.

What is the best wet sanding process to do the headlights? What grit works best for it?

I personally would go with 600 grit first, then finish with either 1000 or 1200 grit, then use the Novus Polish Step 1, or Meguiars, something weak like that that really puts a nice shine and protective layer on them. When I take off my bumper to install the fogs, I may go ahead and do this... who knows.
