I use a Micro Finish Compound used for removing scratches before waxing. Use your product of choice on a cloth or wax pad and scrub in little circles one section at a time, and add elbow grease.
As mentioned above toothpaste will probably work as good as those kits. I haven't tried them as they seem such a rip off at $19.99

Try this...

Ok so it has to be asked. Fluoride or Fluoride free

Once the protective clearcoat fails, the lenses will fade, no way around it. The restore products work great but require elbow grease.

I'm lazy. To quickly and easily remove the yellow oxidation, spray a cloth rag with any brand (or scent for that matter) bug repellant and wipe the lens. I don't know how, and I don't know why...but it instantly removes the oxidation. Takes 5 seconds per light. Then follow-up with a good coat of your favorite wax or polish. Kinda frightening that we spray this on our skin! I use a generic $3 aerosol can from Target. But I've also used "Off" brand backwoods scent, and unscented. Also used Cutter brand.

This morning a coworker mentioned her headlights were all yellow. We tried the Bug Spray method. Spray on, wait 20 seconds and wipe off. Unbelievable that this stuff is approved for use on humans. I wish I had taken before/after pics. The brand was Repel, Sportman's Max, 40% Deet.
