Cleaning Yamaha Headlights

Has anyone found anything in particular that cleans plastic headlight lenses so they're no longer hazy?

SWEET! Is this polish a wax that fills scratches or is it a polishing compound that buffs out the scratches?

Have you used it on headlights, yourself?

Mcguire's Plastic cleaner and polish. It works great. I used it
on my rear [Mazda Miata] window and it restored so well that it is a good as new.[/b]

Windows: (vinyl - polycarbonate)
Clean and protect your clear vinyl or polycarbonate windows regularly with a product made for plastics such as McGuire's Mirror Glaze, Meirmade's Plastic cleaner, or Eastside Boat Manager's New "Professional Plastic Polish / Cleaner". Hose off any salt first, then clean and polish with a chamois or soft cotton cloth. Do not use paper towels; they’re very abrasive.[/b]

Thanks for the good tip! $7 for McGuire's polish plus $3.50 for their applicator pad (optional).

I polished one of the two headlights and it worked very well. I'd guess it cleaned up the lens to 95% of it's original condition and the effort of polishing it wasn't too bad.


Now I think it's worth it tp buy a pair of high performance replacement bulbs for these headlights. PIAA Ultra white H6M
