      Colgate extra whitening. Cheap and easy wet headlight, wipe on thick layer, let dry 15, rinse off.

      Any liquid cleaner that is formulated for cleaning clear plastic will do. There are many on the market and a bottle of it will probably last longer than your car might.

      BTW, washing your car often and garaging it if possible helps a lot, too.

      I also wash mine once a week, and I don't have a garage either. I HATE leaving Chewy outside, but luckily it doesn't rain much here.

      i have a bunch (30+) of complete headlight restoration kits from 3m.
      They work well. its a sanding and buffing (comes with a air buffer).

      the kits i have are very very expensive, but a similar one/method would work as well

      i have these:
