Like he said just get some regular rubbing compound and use some elbow grease and that will clear them up even more and than use this stuff called plastex (from autozone) That will clear them up to glass quality. And before you use the rubbing compound I would get some 2000 grit paper and go over the headlights first. Than they will look brand new!

That stuff worked good on my old grand prix, my brothers rust-stangs (worst handling and ergonomic car i have ever driven), and on an old 93 chevy truck and worked great.
