1500-2000 grit sand paper and a buffer after ward u can wax them to keep them from yellowing as fast or u can just wetsand them and clear them to help protect them also, for water on the inside its a good idea to drill a small hole at the top and the bottom of the housing to allow the light to vent(new cars are like this) and for stains on the inside u can remove them and add bleach swirl it around dump it rinse it and let it dry

break fluid works great. apply a thin coat and rub out with a microfiber cloth. works like a charm! Dont get it on your paint or it will ruin it.
