I did the toothpaste on some paper towel trick on a car i borrowed (the lights were so fogged they were useless at night!) - they cleaned up to about 80% of what they'd be new. When i returned it the owner was stoked.

Took me about 10mins per headlight though.

I recommend the cutting compound, it works really well for Gingivitis :mrgreen: , especially with a buffing wheel.
