Headlight clouding

As anyone experienced headlight "clouding" due to oxidation of the plastic? Are there any good restoration solutions that work well?
Thanks

Yes. I have hairline cracks in my headlights. I'm not sure how to fix it.

Thanks. Glad to hear you had good results. I was looking at that product. Has anybody tried Pittman's One Step?

If you are looking for something that is fairly simple and inexpensive I have used Meguiars Plastix on the headlights and had very good results. You can pick it up at Autozone for about 8 bucks. The only issue with it is that the UV coating is now gone on any headlights that are cloudy and that means that this fix will be needed more frequently. I have found that it needs it every 8-12months. That is with using a decent synthetic wax on the headlights after treating them with the Plastix. I use Optimum Opti-Seal on the entire car though and it is the best sealant wax that I have found.

I've used this one with excellent success. All they do is glass and plastic restoration.
