I'm doing the very same thing, another member used this with good results:

I've just ordered some too upon recommendation, I'll let you know how it turns out next week. I tried Tcut but TBH the new formulation is very limp wristed, years ago Tcut was awesome stuff, now they've made it very weak.

That Mequires Step 1 Paint cleaner and an electric polisher will do the trick nicely . Worked on mine any way.

I got a great shine on mine from t cut and autoglym wax.

T-Cut mine on my Rev1. Came up shining like new. Then a coat of wax
Before i did them they were very dull and drab - like a matt finish.

Also the autoglym green gel (cant remember the name of the product) does the trick. All the black window edges and pastic bits come up like new. Has some kind of petroleum substance in it...smells lovely!.

Autosol

The best way is to use G3 cutting compound (fine) a wet rag and plenty of elbow grease then a good quality polish over the top, you ll get great results.
Im an ex car valeter and i did this for many years.

Autosol

Another vote for Autosol

I used this today as well when washing the car. Did the exhaust and wheels and just thought might as well have a go on the lights as well and they look brand new!!. My Dad looked at the car and the first thing he noticed was how new the lights looked on the back

Meguiar's scratch-x works nicely too. Also helps with the front indicators and the like.

Wetsanding them is probably the best way to actually get the lights to stay that way for a bit longer. Haven't gone that far yet, though.

Yep, another vote for this. Used to do a bit of valeting myself.

Some fine cutting compound, then Autoglym paint renovator, then some regular car polish. I use one called Mer, but i'm sure you could use any polish.

c,mon now craig ,mer is absolute rubbish ! dont use it ?get some autoglym srp --far better and put some wax on top of it .megs tech wax is pretty good over srp .

Worked well for my lenses Its all i had to hand and have used it on all my lenses now

Rubbish on paintwork though to be fair.
