Default Headlight Lens

When I bought the car there is a nasty little scuff mark on the Lens (I think it came from junk yard). and I was wondering what the best way to take it out is.

What do you guys think of this kit?

you can get them clean with a porter cable and some aggressive rubbing compound

I use the blue painter's tape and tape up all around the lens - just to protect the paint. you can use crazy presure on the plastic without worries

you can also find some used lenses on ebay from time to time if you want to replace them. I did that for mine when I cleared my lights.

Sure you can but don't you agree that it's a lot less labor intensive and a lot less expensive to detail them first

I say clean them first to see if you
