We've got about 210,000mi on the car at the moment, and the clear
plastic lenses for the headlights are getting decidedly
yellowed/murky after so long - they're getting to the point where
taping candles to the front of the vehicle might be more
effective

I keep seeing ads for some sort of restorative polish stuff
(which may well be snake oil) - but it got me wondering if a DIY
concoction might be worth a try - e.g. I've found in the past
that combinations of toothpaste and baking powder work very well
for removing scratches from CDs, for instance, but I wondered if
anyone can recommend any other home remedies? :-)

When I was in the US, the stuff you want was regularly advertised
on TV, made by a well-known company. I'll try to find out what it
was called.
Yep, they advertise it all the time, although it's one of those
"but wait! Get another can free!" type of TV deals that smacks of
taking months for delivery and then turning out to be total
crap :-)

(my favourite of those at the moment is that flexi-seal "rubber in
a can" stuff, where they cover a screen door mounted into the
bottom of a boat with the stuff - they don't say how many billion
cans they used doing that, and I noticed that delivery time is a
whole 6 months)

Could well be, I never needed it, so have no personal knowledge of
it. Oh well.

Could it be Meguiars PlastX?




I don't think so. I seem to think it was Simonize.

But try this, from 3M, which is quite a large company.
