well what i think they mean is.

you start with 800 grit and you move down to finer sand paper. after you sand, you wash and clear coat and or wax.

if i'm not correct someone chime in please.

You could spend hours doing that or just buy a new one and install it in 15 mins...

What is your time worth?

Time vs Money = Normally if you own a Dodge you like hands on and save money, kind of like ricers do with a aftermarket muffler welded onto stock exhaust pipes! Well somewhat, his work will pay off, the aftercan just adds noise and helps point out the ricer

I saw some one use the cheap canadian tire hand cleaner on their lenses and it brought it back very well.
Would not have believed it if I didn't see it myself.
