Dull lights

So my Rev 3 tail lights have lost their lustre, the surface just looks a bit flat.

Anyone got tips to bring them back up?

You could use some very very fine wet and dry. Done this on modern cars when the lenses become "milky"

Anything with a fine grit in it. I used Farcela G43 and also ive used autoglym paint renovator. Then polish afterwards, repeat every few months

If you can be bothered...take the clusters out and give them a good wash inside aswell...then yeah...just t-cut or whatever.

Thanks for the tip, my rear lights are looking a little cloudy also.

If they look a little manky, take them out and pop them in the dishwasher

Sounds wierd but works well, and no elbow grease involved
