Default (SAT) Oxidation on headlights

Does anyone know of a product to remove oxidation off the headlights?? The dealership mentioned that they can remove it by wet-sanding($$) it, but I thought you guy's might know another option?

You can polish them just like you do paint.

I just did it this weekend, I used Plastix. It worked pretty good, just needs some elbow grease, maybe even a few attempts. Mine came out really clear.

Thanks for all the responses... I'll try and apply Plastix to see if it removes it and let you guy's know the outcome.
