[Husband Guest Post]:
The headlights on my car got very cloudy.  I decided to try to fix this myself at home to try to save some money (instead of buying new ones or a restoration kit).  I had all the materials already (thanks to the years of working on Pinewood Derby cars).  I was surprised at how well they turned out, so I wanted to share the process here with everyone else.   Please note, you may need to use a polish (applying with vertical motions) after the final steps from this video - then wipe off the polish and clean 1-2 more times with WD40 on a paper towel.

What you will need to follow this video:
WD40
Paper Towels
Sand Paper with the following grits: 200, 600, 2000, 3000.   Please note, the 3000 should be used after liberally spraying WD40 onto it.


Results may vary.  I am not responsible for damages if your headlights do not turn out like in this video.
