If you search a little harder, you will find more info. Like the supra F.A.Q. on taking the lenses apart and cleaning them. Or using 2000grit wet-sand, mild acetone (nail polish) sometimes works, a plastic polish available at your local parts store and more.

Be very careful with the acetone, it will eat your paint quicker than a fat kid would gobble up a bucket of chicken.

Yes, this is true. But also if you use the 100 percent acetone, it will eat the plastic housing as well. I use some crap from walmart, in a pink bottle (nail polish remover by Equal, walmart's brand).

Make sure to use plenty of soapy cold water and light rubbing. Then use the plastic wax after you have finished
