You now see SO many different products out there that promise all sorts of results and priced from less than $10 to over $50. Some even state all you do is wipe-on and wipe-off,,,which I cannot hardly believe. I have tried a couple of them that use the 3 different grades of fine sand paper plus a cream but very pricey and clearness did not last very long.

 Has anyone had some decent results with a certain product,,,??

Titanium dioxide is the main ingredient in plastics and paint that screen, or filter UV radiation since lead became so bad for the masses. This only last a relatively short period of time before it breaks down and you see faded paint, or clouded plastic parts.

This ingredient is included in many types of automotive paste waxes also, but it too is temporary in nature. It will however slow the "yellowing, or clouding" seen in headlamp capsules.

I buff my headlamp lenses every year and wax them in both a 2006 Nissan Altima, and 1996 Dodge that have never seen a day inside. A wool pad, 3M polishing compound, and typically "Turtle Wax" is what I use along with clean terry cloth towels.

The "at home" kits are gimmicks targeting the gullible in my opinion. If you do this with a buffer you will need to get the lenses warm with the wool pad to remove the oxidized layer that forms, but too much pressure and you'll burn, or streak the surface. Plenty of compound, plenty of pressure, and experience will take you far.

  If you want it to be a clear a new again there's only the replacement housings.  Gee who remembers the sealed beam headlights (that were real GLASS not plastic) that stayed clear for the life of the bulb and more? 

Those cleaners suck. I tried a couple different ones. All the same. Not much improvement. Bob has it right. New housings!!  I havta' get a pair for Jo Jo's Caddy. They're starting to get crappy. Well, its a 2007 CTS so I guess its due!  LOL!

Wonder if that restorer would work on my miller welder gas gauge, so bad that you can't even see the anything of the needle under that cheap plastic lens.

 mmm, gotta get some new lights for the 92 ferd pickup. These lenses are dark on the inside as they are on the outside.  Had to replace the origionals several years ago and these are now worse than the first... Think they were sold under the brand of Eagle eyes...or something like that.

That brand doesn't hold up very well at all. In the aftermarket you want either DEPO, or TYC in lighting. Both are a Taiwan based corporations but do market good products and aren't as inexpensive as several others.
