In Reply To You should polish them. ;-) (n/m) posted by Dave N on March 10, 2009 at 02:44 PM

Message After 100K plus miles, my lenses are pretty pitted.
Can glass be polished?
That's actually a slight benefit to the poly lens as I see it.
They can be polished to remove "small" pits caused by road debris.
Myself, I also like the smooth clean look of them.
Not yet sure I'm going to pick-up a set.
The fact that they're not D.O.T. approved, and can get me a ticket because of it, has me hesitant.
