Polish the third brakelight?
Anyone know a good compound or something to use to return the shine to the third brakelight. It seems to be getting foggy.

I used Mother's aluminum polish on my Camaro lenses. That seemed to work pretty well. It has just enough abrasive material without creating more scratches.

Where can I get the polishing creme from? I don't think I have ever seen it at the local Advance Autoparts.

I've seen in other post were members have polished turn signal lenses with tooth paste, should work on the third brake light also.

Re: Polish the third brakelight? (95AquaC4)
funny. I just saw a thing on this yesterday onon ESPN..(Mothers Car Show)
The Mothers rep, said to use the aluminum polish 1st. He demonstrated and it did an amazing job on a really dull lense.
He then redid the lens with Mothers Plastic polish to take out all the fine scratches left behind by the aluminum polish.
most all companies make aluminum and plasic polishes now.
The toothpaste should work also.... :thumbs: sure shines my teeth :thumbs:
