For us poor ^*#tards that can only afford $10.00 bucks and don't get Shark Bytes,I thought I'd throw in a tip or two now and then. Are your front turn sig. lenes looking a little dull, rock dings? Start with #600 wet and dry, add a little dish soap to the water and sand the lens to take the dings out, the plastic is pertty hard so it might take a while, when smooth go to #1000,then to #1500,when totaley smooth wash with soap and water.When dry the lens will be dull but will polish out quickley by hand,buffer, or rotory polisher.Take The Wax Shop polishing compound, or Meguiar's Swirl Remover and lighty polish the lens,when polishing keep moving, don't bear down, though the plastic is hard it will burn, I found that out, I put a one inch burn mark on my first one, all I did was sand out the mark and repolished. When done they will look brand new.
