My fog lights could use some help. What is the best way to polish these up to look new again? They are so low that they pick up all the road debris that pits them up.

If they're pitted, you're likely going to want to wetsand them before polishing -- I would get one of the kits that has sanding pads such as the new Mothers PowerBall 4Lights.

I have not heard of that product before, looks to be decent though.

There was this company at SEMA a couple years back and I can't remember their name but their product you would drizzle on an old headlight and it would/supposed to make it look brand new. Something about it getting into the fine cracks and scratches and sealing it off to look new again.

I would like to see that product.

Simichrome is one of the few that restore plastics back to like new, check out our kits www.nakidparts.com. if there are pits you need to wet sand (1000 grit) them out if you want a perfect surface

When they're pitted it can be tough depending on how deep the pits are to get it all smooth again.
