I'm assuming I can polish the plastic on the headlights in my 2006 Toyota Matrix. I plastic is still "clear", but all the road grit over the years have pitted and fogged the surface. Any advice on material for polishing?

Toothpaste actually worked for me with my old 2003 Ford Taurus. They were yellowed pretty bad and the toothpaste did clear them up.

Probably not better than actually sanding and polishing and reclearing, but it does work in a pinch.
