Default Cleaning Head Lights

The headlights on my 98 Explorer are getting a little foggy. What can I do/use to clean them up. Thanks.

try some cleaner wax if you have any of that laying around......if not, they make a special cleaner for that that they carry at advance auto parts. its 2 parts, the 1st bottle you use is a cleaner, the 2nd is a protectant
good luck!

Edit: i found it, its Meguiar's plastic polish (#10) and cleaner (#17) pictured below

I find that aluminum polish takes off all that nasty stuff.

The insides can get hazy too. You might need to remove the lights and wash the inside out with something like alcohol.
