what do you mean bad? pitting or discoloration on the lenses? it's pretty easy to wet sand and buff them

I've used the two part Meguiars plastic cleaner/polish on mine a few times and it works great. I think they're cleaner than when the car came off the car lot.

i went sand my headlights with 1000 grit, and use a small buffer to bring the shine back.

Check out Plexus, that's what I use and it works great, I think it's used mostly on aircraft.

i dont think i would go any lower than 2000 grit if you plan on wet sanding them. use a good cutter wax to.
