Wingtip landing light lenses are hazed - what can I do to make them clear again? I have wingtip landing/taxi lights on my plane.  They have acrylic covers to protect the bulbs.  They have started to haze over time, similar to the effect of car headlights.  I am wondering if anyone has experienced this and can provide information on how to correct this issue.  I feel as if this might be affecting the ability of the bulbs to direct light on the runway/taxiway efficiently.  I am starting to eye some of the cleaners that say they can correct this in the automotive aisle, however I am very hesitant.  I don't want to buy new covers, as I am sure there is a better/cheaper option.
The hazing is a collection of very small scratches on the acrylic, and the way to remove them is to actually remove a thin layer of the acrylic - the trick is to make sure you use something that won't damage any of the paint/metal around the cover.

A mild acrylic polish is your best bet, although any mild abrasive will work (including non-"sensitive" toothpaste and a paper towel... although it might take a while!). There are plenty of "Perspex cleaner" style products for a reasonable price to do it.

Use a small amount (multiple small applications are better for controlling the spread) and try to use a thicker "paste" type of abrasive rather than a runnier one, for the same reason. Apply a small amount and some fairly firm pressure with a cloth, as per the instructions of the cleaner, removing any excess regularly.

If you think there are deeper scratches than just a very fine "hazing" on the lens, you can use a fine sandpaper (eg 1600 grit) to sand the acrylic first before using the polish
