Headlights all foggy

Has anyone else had this happened to their headlights and do you know how to fix it?
It's a Volvo. If that matters.
Thanks for any advice!

    Hey luke, or any aussie, someone needs to know if their exterior paint scheme will work, or just look like a big black hole.

      Hi Luke, hubby says you can diy with a product from most auto resellers like Repco, Supercheap etc. It is a three part process or you can pay an aftermarket professional would charge about $75 per headlight in Brisbane.

      We have a mechanical workshop and it is a common problem with all plastic headlights :))

      I can cope with a three part process if it saves me a chunk of cash. Thanks Louise!

      My husband used a cut & polish paste to clean my lights worked a charm!

      I did it! Finally!

      Having tried toothpaste and @tarotlova's suggestion of a cut & polish paste, I eventually went with @LouieT's idea and found a 3M branded 3-part process involving a power drill to spin a range of circular sandpapers and sponges with a paste applied to the latter.

      It really did go well, though took at least an hour on each light.

      It looks like this and cost around $50



      Video Instructions where handy too...



      Thanks for all your help, Houzzers!
