Yes, it works, a well know recommendation. But only if the lens aren't bad.
More significant damage means wet sanding, then polishing by machine with compounds. Sounds extreme but in reality is very easy and massively rewarding when you do a before/after shot. Loads of how to guides on youtube for this.

Nice work chaps.
My headlamps were knackered - lenses pitted and faded an the adjusted were broken inside - I literally couldn't drive at night. I went down the wallet emptying route of buying new headlamp units. I'll get some pics up, but the difference on light output was literally night and day!!

I tried a couple of paste types, can't remember which but they didn't do much after a fair amount of hard work as my lenses were fairly dull. Then used wet & dry and made life a lot easier and really got the job done. Used the paste to do a final polish, results were good but don't have any before/after pics.
