My headlights are starting to look like sliding glass and I want to do something about it myself, but I've seen so many things on YouTube and other places that I don't know what's best.
If anyone has actually done this and has any recommendations, I would be grateful for your advice.

I think you will be fine no matter which one you buy. The fogging is deterioration of the plastic due to UV rays, so you can clean it by scraping off the deteriorated areas with toothpaste or abrasive compound.

If you have an electric drill, this is recommended.

If you don't have an electric drill, this is pretty hard work.

Once it is clean, do UV Coating to finish it off. If you don't do this, it will turn yellow in about 6 months even if it is clean.

After that, Headlight Restoration is also available at Carwash. I think they do it. If you have a professional do it, be sure to ask if they do UV Coating for the finish.

> If you have an electric drill, this is a good place to start.

If you don't have an electric drill, buy one while you are at it. If you don't have an electric drill, you can buy one here.

I have tried many methods and have arrived at what I think is almost the best. Please try it.
If there are no cracks or severe yellowing, remove surface dirt with 1500-grit water-resistant sandpaper. At this time, use a misting spray or other means to apply plenty of water while working. If the condition is bad, remove stains in stages of 600-1000-1500. Be careful to file evenly without concentrating on specific areas.
Now, at this stage, the surface looks horribly cloudy, but there is no need to increase the file number or polish with compound, etc. until it becomes transparent. Next, spray a clear coat and you will be amazed at the results. I am sure you will be satisfied with the results.
Wipe the surface clean and degrease before spraying, but the trick is to apply several thin coats. Refer to the sprayer's instructions.
Last but not least, I recommend this coat for its cost performance. 1 year warranty, but the car I applied it to is parked outdoors and it is still looking good after 3 years.

And don't forget masking.
