go to autobarn or so and get a bottle of meguirs plasticX. works wonders, you can also use it on your rear plastic window (if you have one).

Go to Ebay or Amazon and look for something called

"Micro-Mesh" sand paper kit. (buy the generic Orbital round sandpaper with velcro) then use ur orbital sander and attach to it.

use 1500 grit then 2000 grit then 3000 grit then work your way up to 12000 grit...

by the time u've done your 12000 grit, it would look like brand new, then apply your meguires plastic x or mothers plastic polish or plexus products to seal it in.

around 6000-12000 grit is like those nail polishing filers/pads... try it on ur nails and u can get it polished as well haha.

Metal polish or abrasive type polish will work. You just need to buff off the layer of oxidation. Apply abit of wax afterward to reduce it from happening again.

I use meguiars paint renovator for mine, also good for removing small scratches.

Shouldn't need to take the lights off... just masked the surrounding of the lights should be ok.
