Tips Needed, Cleaning Oxidized Headlights

I have a lot of Oxidation Build up on my headlights. A little bit on the area around my wiper blades, but it's not too bad. Mostly it's just been faded. This is the sad result of over 2 years of ownership w/o a garage. I can't seem to get it to come off. Any recommendations? Most of all, I want to try to clean up my headlights since it looks the worst.

Btw, any tips on Rockchips? I have about a zillion of them, and really haven't had any idea on what to do. I was thinking of touch up paint, but am scaed to actually try it.

Thanks in Advance.

+1 on the Meguire's PlastX. Worked pretty well on my 14 year old Lexus headlights.
