I need something. I just looked at mine last night, and they look awful.

I used a similar product on my old bikes windshield and it worked great.

That stuff works really well for scratches and dullness. We use that on the lights on our firetrucks when they get a little faded.

scherry2,Think the early 90's mustangs had polycarbonate lense, the ones the turned a dull yellow.For some reason i think the vibes have lexan lense's, but don't hold me to it. I could be wrong, it has happened before once or twice. lolif you try it out, let me know what you think.If it comes down to it you can always go to a auto glass shop they can polish it out.by the way, it was nice meeting you and your family at the meet!

I was amazed!

They work well as a mirror too. I'm afraid to ask what you were wearing when you took the picture.I find a zoomed view very disturbing!

lol. You can only see the camera and my hands in the bottom leftmost shard.

oh, I thought that was an integrated camera you had for taking pictures of NJ State Police as they speed up and down 295!!Or, maybe some kind of integrated strobe which knocks out the cameras at the Parkway toll booth as you speed through them enroute to Surf City!!

Stumbled on this tonight...resurfaces and cleans pitted, fogged, and hazed headlamp assemblies.http://66.241.223.236/merchant...Other

Well I got the novus plastic cleaner /polisher and tried it out: my conclusion is (do i sound like Ragingfish?) the bottle numbered#2 worked great for removing small surface scratches but didn't really remove any of the pits maybe smoothed out the edges, the bottle numbered #1 was a cleaner and polish that really sparkled up the lens. after doing both lenses I would have to say they looked better from a distance of say 3 feet but up close the pits were there. at night they look just as bad as before. on a scale of 1 to 10 this product rates a 5.0
