Headlight Glaze/Haze

Just wondering what products one can use to get rid of headlight/talight glazing? I tried searching, but nothing showed up apart from having the light housing sanded down.

Meguiar's Plastic X.
white bottle, with black (?) label on the front.

If you've got a buffer, you can use that on the headlights but if not, just lots of elbow grease.

Would you recommend getting the Mequiar's Headlight Restoration kit or not? Just curious as to if anyone has tried this. I have a power drill of course but don't really have any form of buffer attachment whatsoever.

3M has a nice product. I bought one and used it on my wife's van and a friend's car. It's only good for a couple of applications, but you'd have to have a drill that can spin a min of 2200 rpm or better.

I have a little haze too, but i think mine is on the interior of the headlight.
