Default Restoring my 3rd brake light...

I have a minor problem with my 3rd brake light. It looks scorched and it doesn't have that glare anymore. Its covered with white scratches by the sun. What can I do to get my 3rd brake light to look like new? I heard wet sanding would do the trick... But how do I go on about wet sanding? Are there neccessary steps that I have to take?

You could try Meguiar's Plastic-X or Mother's Plastic Power Polish. I personally use 3M's Plastic Polish and Cleaner.

If trying the products above don't work to your satisfaction you might try this, I got one myself and it worked for me.

It sure beats paying $90 for a new one!
