RE: IML: Polishing plastic Was: '66 Imperial Tail Lens

There is another way I found that works great for taillight lens. Use 2000
wet sandpaper and lightly sand the lens, then use a good clear coat spray to
lightly coat the taillight lens. The lens will look like brand new, and will
last for years.

Meguire's makes a plastic polish (I believe it is #9) that is fantastic!  If
you can push hard and have a lot of stamina, you can restore a plastic
part's outer surface to brand new looking.  Just follow the directions, and
eat your Wheaties that morning.  Do NOT use any kind of a motorized tool,
you will burn the plastic (and please don't ask how I know that!)

Thanks.  Good advise.  I have cleaned them inside and out.  Any suggestions 
on how to polish them?  Is there a particular method, tool, wax, coating, 
etc. that is recommended?  I've used lots of elbow grease, soap and water 
but they are still very dull.
