I don't know what yours are like but mine were dirty on the inside. I took them apart and put windex inside them and cleaned them with a rag and screw driver to move it around.

Plan?

Hi Folks
.
Thanks Peppy- I have considerable "sand blasting" effect on the outside of the lenses.

Here's my plan: Wet sand 360, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 grits with palm sander.
Is 360 aggressive enough to start? I can feel "indents" with fingernail on the glass.
Should I use rubbing compound at some point? If so, where in the process?
Thanks
Sheldon
