If they look bad but are not cracking try this. Get some 1500 grit sand paper and go over them lightly. Then get some good polishing compound and work on them some more. Mine look brand new after that. If it doesn't work for you then I'm not responsible.

I used a polishing compound on mine because they were a yellowish foggy color.

It cleaned them up so they look new.

Ive used this stuff on headlights and it works great for getting rid of that foggy look, especially on BMWs. They are susceptable to getting that foggy look on their lights for some reason
