Try MAAS Metal Polish. I used it on my mirrors and it made the plastic look like new. Also my tailights were hazed so I used it on them. Made a remarkable difference. Wife picked up a small tube at the grocery. http://www.maasinc.com/index.asp

just had my new to me lights fixed today. i bought them from a forum member and they were hazed.

I took 320 wet/dry sand paper and snaded them . then took 600 then 800 then 1000 and then finally 1200. Took them in the paint booth and got the painter to spray clear coat on them. They turned out better than new. The clear coat will never yellow and you can wax them like you can your car. i recommend using the car clear coat over your finished product. it gives them that bling factor and last long time. my body shop has been doing this for about 6 yrs now and never had a complaint or problem.
