Lots of elbow grease and about 7 or 8 SOS pads, small knife, lots of water. Still not perfect - couple spots to get. SOS works great on getting the overspray off of the lenses - hit it with 3M rubbing compound after to buff them back up.

Looking sweet -- and like exactly what I need to do to mine!! You're using 3M buffing compound for the outer lenses?

Yup! I was surprised at how the black plastic came clean - just as it is. These lenses weren't that bad, but I still used the compound on them to really shine them up. Back ones had a bit more overspray on them so they took a bit more scrubbing and buffing. This is just with some paper towel and a hand polish too.

I just let mine soak in hot water for a day and scub it off, for the lens used a scribe Plastic X from 3M worked great took out all the fine scratches too. :coolgleamA:

Where do you get this 3M rubbing compound and plastic X?

plum500

Not sure about the plastic X, but I got the 3M stuff at NAPA. Dark green bottle - indicates it is for 2000grit scratches I believe...
