Cleaning up Vista lens covers

[rangerfourever]

We have three squads with Federal Vista bars that are dull. Wondering what others have used to clean/polish these up, to bring them back to clear? Installer told me to take them off and clean in/out and polish with buffer wheel on handdrill. thanks

Obviously you need to install SP1, then upgrade your video card....

Ooops, wrong Vista - sorry.

Novus plastic polish. Its what we use. You can find it at some better parts places. Or body shop suppliers. There are 3 grades. They can be done by hand. If you use a wheel there is a good chance you may melt the plastic. First of all take them off and wash them in warm soapy water. Then wipe with a soft terry cloth and air dry That removes all the major dirt and grime If they are really bad start with the #3 and use the #2 to remove it. If they have a minor haze use the #2. Its like waxing a car. let dry and buff.

Thanks, I will pick some today and try to clean up one bar after my shift.

Sorry, they don't make polish strong enough to fix Vista. You can't polish a turd.

Another vote for Novus.

Novus is the shizzz.

In addition to any colored lenses, it clears up cloudy aerodynamic headlamps. Only warning - go EASY. Too fast and you'll generate a lot of heat, to the point you can melt the lens. Oh - uh, unless you have a lot of time and upper body strength, the easiest way to get results is a random orbital buffer like you use to apply wax with.
