Anyone have any sucess removing Oxidation from 3rd Brake Light

[KaNolton]

My 3rd brake light is looking pretty sad. I've try a few things. I did a quick wet sanding without to much sucess, I have also tried a pastic polish on a powerball but we all know the results that yielded. And lastly in order to "cover up" I put some back to black but has anyone had any sucess removing the oxidation from the lights?

I suppose I could step up the grit on the paper and see how that goes. If I ruin it, hey, I'm still gonna have to buy a new light.

Just thought I'd ask if anyone has had an sucess

Thanks guys

Wet sand it then polish it. Use the same process you would use on headlights.

Thats what I did. Wet sanded with 400 grit,600,800,1500,2000 then polished them out with plastic polish all by hand and it came out very nice. Just takes some time to get it all done as mine was very bad hence why I started with 400 rather then say 800 or higher like most start with.

If the oxidation isnt real bad you can use a buffer and some heavy compound
