How can I get tail lights

Hey folks, just wondering how to get the shine back on my tail lights. They are kind of dull and have a few minor scratches.

I sanded mine LIGHTLY and cleared them with automotive paint clear.

Best looking set I've seen!


Hard to tell here, BUT

What sandpaper grit did you use, and was it wet or dry?

When I did mine, I used 2000 Wet, and then polished them and they came out pretty good.

Mine originally the reverse lights were pretty yellow, and afterwards they were crystal clear.
