I have a 91 Dak with the aerostyle front end- just wondering if there is any way to clean the headlight lens- the clarity has degraded quite a bit over the years- thanks

You can clean till you are blue-in-the-face, but it won't fix your old plastic headlights.
I know, I tried.
I gave up and ordered NEW assemblies.
Racerwheel.com has some, or go to ebay.
$50-65 each

Yeah, rubbing compound works. I used Mothers Wheel cleaner in the little white tub specifically. It only took a couple of minutes on each headlight to get all of the yellow off.

You can buy plastic cleaner that is sold at most auto stores. Worked for me. Be careful with the rubbing compound as some is pretty abrasive.

Mother's plastic cleaner and using their Power Ball on my drill. Took all the physical labor out of the equation. I bothered to mask off the area before hand, but don't know if it is required. A few minutes on each light and Wala! Lasts for about six months before I start noticing any new yellowing, then hit em' again. I use the same ball I am using on my wheels. Just make sure it is cleaned as brake dust is abrasive.
