Just thought I'd share my thoughts on this to anyone planning to do it.

 

To summarise IMHO I think that if you do the outsides and you are happy with the results, then the time & effort getting the lights out, apart then back together again is not worth it (unless your insides are really bad).

 

This is a pic of mine after doing 1 fully, & the other the outside only, & I can't tell the difference. If I'd known before I started how little difference it'd make to do the outside only I wouldn't have bothered doing the insides.

Hope this saves somebody some time & effort,

Good work but I cant tell the difference with the the sun reflection on the OS one. When I put my plastic ones in the oven and cleaned inside AND out I noticed a bigger difference than just outside. It will depend from light to light and how old they are etc.

Thank you peeps,

 

what products did you use?

 

I used Novus 3 stage plastic polish (1 is a cleaner, 2 is a heavy scratch remover, 3 is a fine scratch remover), I got mine from:

I also used a PoterCable dual action orbital polisher to make light work of the polishing, you can order them directly from the US, I bought mine from a guy on ebay, but all he does is get them sent from the US straight to your door.
