Len's Polish? hahaha I don't know why that is so funny... Anyways, I have used the sand paper method (wet sand with 220, then 300, then 400 and then polish with any type of compound. The mag wheel polish works well. You can even try Bomani. It is a soft type of abrasive found at the supermarket next to the Comet. Jeff

This was a big factor for me buying the Permatex kit. John The dream is dead, long live the dream.......😥

It won't "revive the dead", but does a heck of a job on weathered lenses. Easy to use and will not harm your 30-40 year plastic. My rating: out of dancing bannanas Death or Glory...it's just another story.

It's like a paste with some gritty stuff in it to help. I'm not sure who sells it now, I've had mine for so long and haven't run out yet. Got a decent sample tube in the mail. http://www.flitzusa.com/shop/
