Both of mine were cloudy when dry, but appeared fine if you ran a wet finger over them. I gave them a polish up with Brasso, but any fine mildly abrasive polish should do the job - like T-cut or maybe even ordinary toothpaste.

I use Meguiars Plastx. It is very good and easy to use. my headlamps are nice and clear now. I have also used it on the screen on my motorcycle.

T-cut does this job very well brings them up like new but makes the elbow ache!
