Just thought I would drop a line on this topic.I've read a few old threads that have talked about using toothpaste. The best thing that I have found to work on older headlight lenses is Mother's aluminum mag polish. It is slightly abrasive but does not leave any sratches of any sort. It does turn old dingy lens into almost new. I have used it on many mustang, taurus, and explorer lenses. Give it a try I can promise great results. It take some elbow grease but it is definitely worth it.

3m Swirl mark remover for dark colored cars works well too. Just my .02

seriously, neither one is worth anything compared to buffing them correctly with a pedalstal buffer. If that is possible, you can get very close with a paint buffer and compound. That is the quick and dirty way, but I have done many cars that way.
