So to those of you with misty headlights on Blobs (such as myself), it turns out its very likely a machine polisher will fix it.

Thanks to Peedee for the tip!

You'll probably need to lacquer them now they are polished or they'll just mist up again. This is common.

They have come up really well and really need to do mine at some point ... Did u remove the lights or do them in situ

as said you now have no UV protection, so keep on top of them with your car wax,
toothpaste has worked for decades on car headlights.

Did them in situ.

Lacquer or just a wax?

I've waxed mine but it doesn't last that long. When I get a chance I'll do them again and lacquer them.

ive used the toothpaste method a few times, works not bad at all. not as good as a machine polisher of course but seeing as most wont have a machine polisher its a good alternative. or buy a restoration kit and use your drill. the kits have all the stuff you need including the uv protection spray.

Any type lacquer recommended? I used a wool pad on mine about six months ago and they're already starting to tarnish, despite using G1+G2 and regular coats of wax.

I'd use a recognised make of lacquer. I've used clear lacquers before that have destroyed the paint below or gone misty themselves. I use a Simoniz Acrylic lacquer and it works fine.
