Default Question about cleaning lenses ????

What's the best way to clean blinker, brake light, running light lenses?

I have all of them off the car right now while I'm getting ready to paint and thought it would be a good time to clean them up. So what's the best way? Soak them in the sink with dw detergent? put them in the dishwasher? any advice is appreciated

Plastic lense and plexiglass cleaner. I beleive it's made by Blue Majic? Available at most parts stores. Works great!

I have had the best luck with PlasticX from Meguiar's. I even made some yellow headlight lens covers completely clear again with it...

I got superb results using Autosol from Eastwood. It's a very fine abrasive polishing paste for plastic. My tailight lenses & marker lights look new again.

Shoot, I just used hot water and soap. They really cleaned up nice.
