A cutting paste, something not too harsh, like Farecla G3, and an electric mop. Dont stay in one place for too long and burn the pastic!
You can get good results from T-Cut and a sore arm though! I'd advise you against using the sandpaper method in the Maintenance Guide, as I personally believe even fine sandpaper (1200grit) to be too harsh for the plastic lenses. |

Spent hours with t cut after buying the car with no luck, failed mot on one light couldn't find second hand one cheap & quick so decided to try wet & dry if it didn't work wasn't loosing any thing anyway. Fine wet & dry lots of soapy water then finished off with t cut on a polishing mop worked a treat. if youv'e nothing to loose try it. :y
