Depends on the severity, u can use 400, 600,1000 or 1500. Here is one I did with 400->1000->platicX

I usually use toothpaste but then it doesn't last long...

This PlastX stuff is the way to go then it seems?

Does it have the UV protector/sealant in it or do I have to get that seperate?

Bit of 3000 grit wet and dry sandpaper to helps cut through the grime. Decent cutting compound polish with a polisher and then some decent wax to protect it. I do this every 6 months and it works an absolute treat at keeping them in tip top shape.

Duragloss plastic polish is another option, cleaned up the headlights on my 03 liberty alright.
