Headlight Lens restoration

I just got a '03 996, a jewel apart from the misty, yellowish headlight lenses. Any experience with headlight restoration kits that use progressive abrasives with a final top-coat? I'll appreciate the feedback. Thanx.

Doctor Headlight seems to get good reviews. Read through this thread other methods are mentioned also.

I used the 3M kit on mine and added a sealer. Worked well.

I discovered, by chance, that a Mother's claybar kit took away all of the discoloration on my wife's BMW 325i headlights. Much simpler than using one of the polishing kits and took about ten minutes, tops, for both sides. Worked amazingly well.

Clay bar, compound and/or polish will all take the yellow out and make your lens' new again. You can seal them with any synthetic wax too. The headlight restoration kits are just a high priced item for Rubes.
