What is the best way to remove haze from the red plastic lenses? Tried the search function on this site with no results and I would rather hear from someone on this site rather than some google search result. Thanks.

You can also glass bead them and have them clear coated.

And.. If Domingo happens to chime in he really did an outstanding job on some 70 Challenger lenses... They look better than NOS...

You avoid sanding there & polish it with the Mothers as best you can....

The Mothers worked great. Even used it on the reverse lenses which were heavily oxidized and coated in black soot. Did it all by hand as the lenses were not too badly scratched. Thanks again Randy.
