[QUOTE="someotherguy, post: 20306, member: 6178"] The trick to keeping them nice after polishing is to clear coat them. I've done a few sets where I go the full course of wet sanding, polishing, then you've got to use a mild prep solvent to be sure there's no residues left - then give them a clear coat. I've used just simple rattle can and had good results, but if you really wanted to step it up, you could get some 2K in a can product, or if you're a paint & body guy of course you've got real clear you could use. I generally don't chuck good lenses just because they got hazy. It's when they get the tiny webs of cracks in them that they're beyond redemption. I saved the GM (China) headlights from the black SS when I put the TYC's in. I may try the full restoration on them when the wife's SS needs headlights again. Richard [/QUOTE]
