Try a finishing compound ......

like 3M 5928. Worked great on my colour crested caps and works wonders on cloudy headlights on my DD Accord too.

Thanks. I'll see if I can find it, but I don't remember seeing anything with that "name" from 3M. I've got a little Menzerna left over...polish and glaze. I'll try them first and see how it goes.

Oh. ok.
