Novus vs. Meguiars PlastX - Headlight Restoration

I have been searching for a product to restore my headlights (the plastic is getting rough and clouded on the outside), and I've come upon two:

Novus Plastic Polish and Meguiar's PlastX

Has anyone used them before? I'd like to hear your experiences before I buy one!

(It would be great if anyone has before and after pix)

You should check out autopia.org, someone did a whole thread about headlight restoration. That being said, I like Novus better as a plastic polish.

Flitz only works if you get the buffer that attaches to a drill. You'll never get enough pressure from your hands to get it right.

After checking out the forums on autopia.org, I guess PlastX is the way to go. A lot of detailers there swear by it, and it seems very easy to use. Time to go pick up a bottle... now where can I find it...

I'll let you know in a couple of days how it worked
