Default Waxing my Tail....

Hey guys,

Getting around to putting in a set of bubble tail lights I bought from a forum member. Cleaned them all up and they ready to go in...the lens's had very faint scratches here and there and was wondering what you guys use to polish out your rear tail light lens's. In info would be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance...Joe!

There is some stuff called Novus that I used it on my clear gauge plastic and it worked like a charm.

Here is the link:

Regular toothpaste (like Crest or Colgate) on a cotton cloth works great for tiny scratches on plastic parts.

I have simply scuffed the lenses and cleared them with Urethene clear coat in the past on other cars of mine . Makes them look brand new !
Plus it protects them from the sun and rain etc...

I use this stuff all the time to clean scratched plastic - headlights, CDs, gauge covers, etc.
