The walls, closing in... Well, the people here are friendly enough, and it
sure is interesting, but now I know why we have sprawl in the U. S. I don't

You can buy plastic polishing compounds. Problem is that if this is the
plastic lens, the thing tends to darken all the way thru. As bad as an
old Japanese Roadster window.

The only ones that polish well are the class, which can be done with
toothpaste, paste wax, Bon Ami, etc.

Haven't heard any results of anyone replacing them with the J C Whitney
alledged exact replacements.
