I use 2000 grit wet sand and RainX restore..looks like new....

Wet sand with 1000, small buffer wheel with compound, buff with polish. Do it every day and usually lasts about a year.

I've seen a guy use regular white tooth paste and a mothers ball. It worked well but took a little longer to clean the residue. I'm going to try it when needed.

Depending on the vehicle it might be cheaper to get new lights.

One car I was working on were $35 each.

Still have my 03 shit brown Chevy. Buy em new and drive the shit out of them.
150K and going strong. Have used the Novus several times and have good results.
Best way though is to hit 2 deer like last year and get new ones!:roll:
Would rather buy new toys like the fishing boat I have on order.

I used the McGuires Kit with good look. Bascially came with a power ball type tool and some paste. Cleaned them right up in about 5 min of use each.

That was on my 1999 Toy Tacoma with 211K on it.

I do the same. Works well
