I just cleaned my wife's yesterday with Blue Magic plastic cleaner and a buffing wheel that attaches to a cordless drill, worked great, now if there was only a way to stop the rocks from nicking them, that would be better.

this might sound crazier than pfactor's method. i used brake fluid on my old headlights. just rub it on with a clean cloth about 2-3 times. then polish it with a soft terry after each coat.
