Cool Cloudy looking headlight lenses?

How do I get the cloudy look out/off the lenses? Our GS-300 has a Mark Levinson GPS but a 2003 DVD. Who has a "current" DVD and what updates are available?

I use the Mother's Mag/Aluminum polish if it's just starting to get hazy or cloudy. Works really well.

I have the current 2007 disc in my GS430, I picked it up on Craigslist for around $70-$80, expect to pay around $200 at the stealership.
