i used 1 part baking soda (arm an hammer) 2 parts water

too much soda will leave small scrathes

Sorry for not having pics, Air Force won't let me install software on its laptop. But my lights looked as bad as anyone who has the same problem. they now look better than ever. I'm extremely pleased with the results.
I used Turtlewax rubbing and polishing compounds, my 8" random orbit waxer, and 2 cloth bonnets.
NOTE: RUBBING COMPOUND CAN/WILL DO BAD THINGS TO YOUR PAINT!! My Ac has a bra and I'm getting her painted in the summer. So take the proper precautions
1) Apply rubbing compound to both waxer and headlight case.
2) Using the edge of the waxer and alot of pressure, go top to bottom.
3) Using the bottom of the waxer go side to side.
Do this over and over and ...you get the picture. After 10- 15 minutes, rinse
the headlight and compare to the other headlight. You will be amazed!
4) Change bonnet and apply polishing compound and repeat.
The passenger headlight is 100% clear. The driver's side is 85% clear. I have a small area over the hi beam section that I 'll hit up once it warms up a bit.
Again, sorry for no pics
