Which Plastic Polish would you recommend?

Hey guys, I read a lot of post about headlights getting haze. That had several suggestion how to restore it back to the crystal clear look. After debating about which two product I should choose. Meguair's Plastic Polish or 3M Clear Polish? Anyone used either one of those, give me some input and feedback. I want to get my money worth for something that is effective but works.

I used Meguiars, but it wasnt plastic polish it was just regular. It did a great job.

I used Meguair's clear Plastic Polish and it took away a lot of the haze...but the sandblasted effect is still physically there.

I used 3M plastic polish and it actually took out some deep scratches in my headlight lens. Nissan has a TSB recomending 3M.

Novus Plastic Polish works pretty well on hazy headlamp plastic and for removing scratches in plastic

OOh Novus Plastic Polish but seem like you have to buy the kit instead of one bottle to do the job.

Not really. I've never even used Novus #3 because my plastic was never that beat up. But even so, it works better than Meguires, IMO, and it's not that expensive. A little goes a long way with Novus

I use blue magic stuff for small scratchs. But if I have to wet sand the piece, I would use my buffing wheel with white plastic polishing compound.
