Alright guys, I have a 95 so the bumper lenses(already replaced with new clears) and the back-up lights are tarnished I guess you could say, as seen in my gallery in the rear shot. I tried soaking/scrubbing them with simple green but it did nothing, does anyone know what will clean these up and make them white/clear again? I was thinking of soaking them in bleach but I'm not sure, any suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks,
Spidey
 
Try the same method we use on the headlights use Mag and Aluminum polish on them or wetsand with 1600 grit sandpaper and buff. Afterall, they are both clear plastic. :)
 
I think there's crap on the inside of them too though, and I don't think the back-up light lenses come apart, I'll try the mag & aluminum polish though, worked great on my headlights, and if that doesn't work I'll try the bleach method and let everyone know how it turns out.
 
So do you floss around the screws too??? :D I have heard that you can use toothpaste but I wasn't sure if it worked or not. And the other more expensive method is to go to satan to buy new lenses.
 
it worked just fine on my boys talon.. i didnt find out about it soon enough for my eclipse.. cuz i had projectors when i found out.. and the headlights were sold..(my old ones) but it worked on a few cars ...
