You can find it at any auto parts place...I thinks its like 3 dollars...But then if you have the rough sandy feeling on your lights when you touch them, then that will have to be rubbed of with sand paper....Use a combination of softer grade sand paper and that 3M polish and your headlights should be crystal clear in no time...
Just don't rub to hard with that sand paper, you only want the surface crap scraped off, you dont want to make it to where you need a new headlamp...Good luck to ya!

Thats why you sand with oil. it allows the paper to work the way it's supposed to ( Wet Sand Paper ) and allow less matetrial to come off in a smoother fashion.
When you buy a kit from the auto parts store it comes with sand paper, machine oil and clear coat and a foam brush.
the above two guys who spoke about the plastic polish and a buffer are correct, however if you have considerably worse yellowed out headlights with "Dead" plastic on the lens , YOU MUST SAND, to get the dead material off, then use lighter and lighter grit strentghths , then seal with the clear coat, other wise you'll be buffing your lights over and over and over until you'll have to buy new ones. So Make sure you seal your work, with a clear coat !
