| I finally got around to giving my turn signals a face lift which made them look good as new ,totally removing the old yellowish tint they had, i first masked off around the turn signals with 2” painters tape then i wet sanded them starting with 800 grit then going up to 1000,1500,2500,3000 using plenty of water in a spray bottle.i then dried tbem off and used Novus #3,then Novus #2 which is a plastic polish on a buffing wheel attached to a drill,sandpaper and polish,buffing wheels can be found on Amazon,,if your turn signals are looking aged this will make them shine again, |

| That turned out very well- I have a little sun deterioration on mine and I used some plastic polish in the past- it helped and from 3 feet away, it looks good, so you have to scrutinize to see it now. The light sanding looks like it works very well. |

Yes I thought they where a huge improvement,mine were 19 yrs old with a lot of outdoor time so they looked old and yellowish,I highly recommend it,it took a little over an hour… |
