I use a polishing cloth attachment for my circular grinder with toothpaste and it definitely does the trick
I tried this without the power tool and it didn't work very well. I have a much newer car now, but I'll keep this in mind for the next time I need to clear up old headlights.
I tried this on my old wrx and it worked great. I just bought a stiff bristled brush and then a tube of colgate and it was a huge improvement.
Didn't do much for me. I tried a few different things and they were mostly a waste of time. I did recently pick up the Sylvania restoration kits and that shit was like night and day difference.
The only trick is that their "3 step" process is bullshit. It's a lot of sanding and cleaning and sanding and cleaning and before you know it you'll be on step 12 of 3 and only halfway through. But it works and the difference at night is definitely noticable.
