I was eating breakfast while watching this video, then I arrived at the end of the video. THANKS GUYS!
I had similar problems with the headlights of my car. But one day I gave my car to my mechanic because I needed to change from winter tires to summer tires (because I didn't have the time to do it myself, and I'm lazy, the headlights annoyed him so he restored them without asking me, for free. My mechanic is cool.

I also had this same sort of issue on my 9 year old Fiat: although, not even car polish was enough. If you've tried any of these methods (like I did) and they still don't work (yep, I tried the car polish, you can try wet-sanding the lights and then applying a medium cutting compound. And, it actually worked really well. It will damage your paint if you get it on it, so keep that in mind.

I've recently restored the headlights on my parents car using the method from Chemical Guys and looks great now. They also added another step to put a paint sealant on the headlights once you're done because the headlights have a clear coat and once you're done you've removed the clear coat. So putting a sealant on prevents them from oxidising again.

I've had good results with turtle wax (now armor-all brand) tire gel, with a cloth and a little time working it. seems to get grime off, fill micro cracks, add a slick layer while maybe restoring some silicone type oils into dried out plastics. used it on interior and exterior plastic the same way, dash, door panels, sun bleached bumpers etc.

Actual way to restore permanently:
clean
sand with 400 grit wet paper
600 grit wet paper
clean with alcohol
2000 grit wet paper
clean with alcohol
spray on clear UV-resistant non yellowing paint as light base coat
spray slightly more generously
Ta-Da, thank me later for this permanent restoration

You can also make them clearer by sanding them, yes sanding. You have to use very high grit like 8000 and it take a little bit of time and then you hand buff them and boom.
Fun fact: Did you know they sand the pilot windows of a PLANE with 10, 000 grit sandpaper to make them super clear? Crazy, right!

I found a super cheap way of cleaning headlights. There are these sponge type things called dr magic sunday that I bought from a cheap shop for 2. I scrubbed with them for about 15 minutes and the difference was night and day. To clean even more I put soap and sugar on the sponge to act as an abrasive

Just to throw a simple fact in: had a 2002 Nissan Primera in the family until recently, headlights were foggy to the point the car was failing MOT. We still have a 2002 Seat Leon (VW Golf) in the family, its headlights are as clear as they were the day they were manufactured.

I've used the Turtle Wax brand kit, and it worked amazingly on 14 year old headlights that hadn't been properly treated before. I used the clarifying sealant on one side and over time, it helped keep it cleaner than the side without. The kit is 12 at walmart
