Tried this on a few cars and it's worked beautifully! You can get the stuff at most local parts stores (Autozone/Napa/Advanced)

No chemical/buffing compound I have ever used has lasted a decent amount of time. Oxidation still reoccurs over time. The ONLY thing I have found to eliminate this problem completely and to never reoccur is to use 2000g sandpaper wetsand the lens and then clear coat them with a clear with uv protectant. The oxidation has never came back on any headlight I have done this way including an eclipse I did 6 years ago.
On top of that, this way is easier and safer since you sand by hand, and then just clear. When you use a buffer or drill like shown in the video you run the risk of burning the plastic lens and ruining it. Once it has the yellow/brown burn mark it is done and looks like s**t. I've done plenty by removing the headlight assembly and professionally clearing them, and have had good success just masking a few vehicles headlights off and and clearing them. Either way I haven't seen a product made for this that lasts, and let's face it who wants to do something over and over and over.
