Sand the lense uniformaly untill all scratches and imperfection are removed, and the lense now has a hazy dull white appearence.
Once you are satified that the lense is uniform and all scratches and imperfections have been removed, repaet with 600 grit, 1000 grit and finaly 1500 grit.
Hours of sanding are not neccasary, about 5 - 10 min with each grit is fine, the plastic sands down pretty quick.
Warning: If you want to retain the Suzuki OEM wording moulded into the lense, inclding the DOT certification, don't do this, all wording will be removed by the sanding.
Here it is, ready for polish after 1500 grit
Final stage is to now hit the lense with your favorite polish, Mothers/Adams/Maguires, any good haze and swirl remover will do.
You can do it by hand with a clean microfiber cloth, but it takes a long time and I told you, I am lazy, so I break out the dual action polisher and give it two runs over with a foam pad and swirl and haze remover.
If you using a DA polisher, don't apply much pressure , just the weight of the polisher is enough, don't let it get hot, it is plastic after all.
If you polishing by hand, put on a DVD and park yorself down for an haou and a half with the polish in front of the TV, when the movie is finished, you should be done too.
Took me about two hours total to do these three lenses today, and they look as good as they did when they were still in thier little red Suzuki packets.
Not all can be saved
Hope it helps some one.
