Re: Fixing scratched lenses
Yep-listen to James. Those last 3 posts were 100% on the money.
What you see is called "crazing", and is micro cracks in the surface. They are much shallower than they appear. Often caused by application of a solvent, ie alcohol or acetone. Not in our case however.
They will sand out with effort. The 3M kit will work if you follow the directions.

Re: Fixing scratched lenses
Finally fixed my scratched/fogged headlights today with the Meguiars Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration kit that you suggested. Was on sale at AdvanceAuto Parts for $23.99. I can't believe how they look now...like brand new! I had read reviews but was still reluctant to "sand" my plastic headlights, but man did it do the trick. Wish I did it a long time ago. It was so easy to do that I was concerned that it wouldn't turn out. Now want to tell every person I see with cloudy lights about this stuff. Once again...helpful advice from the forum. Thanks.
