Does anybody know how to polish a scratched up and dull tail light, to buff it up really pretty and shinny again?

[jazbogutz]

Ive been doing that for years, red or amber or white. Buy some methylene chloride. After fitting the pieces together use a glass hyperdermic needle if you can find one to let the methylene chloride drip out into the cracks and piece edges and it imediately fuses the plexiglas together. Also one can disolve plexiglas with the methylene chloride in a glass bottle to make a red paste or amber etc. The methylende chloride can be purchased on ebay. .

@CryMoreToEazy I also wanted to mention if you want to remove the lens from the housing, just heat the oven to 150-180 and set the light on a block of wood to prevent melting. Set the block of wood on a cookie sheet and set a timer or keep an eye on your watch for 7 to 10 mins and you can pry it apart. =-)
