for condensation in the headlight try removing the "U" shaped rubber plugs in the rear of the headlight...I removed mine and it solved my condensation problem.

Rubbing compound, plastic compound, etc..most work fine. I use paint polish and compound, and it works. The compound acts as a mild sandpaper that will get rid of the surface contaminants. Step it down to a finer polish (like plastic polish) to increase surface shine.
