Has anyone cleaned misty\foggy headlights & if so with what?
Er indoors Micra K12 has very foggy lights and IMO they could do with a polishing.

I'm just wondering if there is anything that costs less than a Maguires headlight restoration kit that gets the same effect?

I don't have a buffer so the kit having a head in is IMO a plus.

or a polish with a light cutting action, i seem to remember a recent car magazine using good old fashioned T cut.
 
The K12 is particularly prone to this......the scratches can be polished out, right enough but the lenses also tend to yellow - and that goes right through the plastic.

As a cheap improvement for an old 106, I painted them with clear varnish!

A 5 min job!

FWIW I got a Maguires headlight restoration kit, used the fine wet & dry then use the buffer with plastx paste on in the drill & polish it all off.

Now after about 40 minutes I have nice clear headlights again.
