There is a way to get those dull or faded lenses back to new looking.
Or if you are sick of the amber Euro look and wish to go USA all red.
Try this.
Candy Apple Red, you can also spray on a clear for more depth.

When I raced RC hydro's I used plexiglass for the deck over the controls so I

could see with a glance if it was a problem with them. To make the hatch I

would cut them out sand the edges and then polish the plastic with a fine

compound. I would imagine that it would work with the lenses also. Worth a try.

Toothpaste is all you need.

Polishes plastic like you wouldn't beleive. Don't use the clear crap, plain old white has just the right grit.
