<i>results:</i>
as you can see the lenses were deeply pitted after 4 winters of sanded new england roads. After "restoration", easily %99.9 of the pits are removed, the lens surfaces are "as new" smooth. I wont be able to try them on the car until tomorrow.

i bought a glass repair kit from eastwood*edit*. its very aggressive and removes material.
its not a "polish" kit that griots sells etc. i dont have a link handy...the kits was about $45. i think you can get most of the kit stuff from 3m directly, making it cheaper. like i said, i took a bunch of pics of the process and will post them when i get time.
the total time for this was about 1hour going slow. very easy to do.
