You know how brand new headlight glass shines and is perfectly clear - well I want my upcoming used RS2 glass to look the same

Default Cover them like I did. Will never have to worry about it.

Griots Garage sells them. Will stop a BB
pellet at close range.

I use Finesse It II from 3M corp. Works great on any plex or acrylic. It is a compaund used to buff out swirl marks from compounding so its a good light abrasive.

Default Use a compound that clears scratches from windshields.

It will buff it out but you got too be careful how you use it. If done right it will m ake them as good as new. If used wrong you will thin out the glass to the point it will crack. I got some at home.
