If they're really bad-hazy or streaked, the Novus 3-step plastic polish works excellent. You can just use the last step polish to make 'em look new if they already look good..

3M Finnesse-It rubbing compound and a soft cloth to rub it out with. Once clean keep it pollished with a good soft cloth and detail spray.

What about removing scratches? Anyone have any good products to help with this?

Nate, the 3-step Novus polish I was talking about will take out scratches that'll catch your fingernail- the idea is to work from the level 3 (coarsest) down to 1, but the 3 is for the more severe scratches. You'd use the level 3 only directly on the scratches, then the 2 compound on anything hazy, then the 1- a final polish. It's the best stuff I've seen for plastics/acrylic, clear or not.

DGulliver, thanks for the info. I have a couple spare lenses I can perfect the art of removing scratches on before I work on my original lense. Thanks again!

Where did you purchase the kit from? Local parts store, Ace, etc.?

Anyone else have any products they've used?

i'll second DGulliver's advice. Novus 3 step works great. i've use it for years on all scratched/hazy plastics.
