Resources for LFL dome cleaning/restoration

[crash_over-ride]

I have an LFL minibar I'm working to put into service. Several of the domes and lense pieces are pretty faded to the point where it affects light output. Can anyone recommend some good instructional sources so I can try to return them to decent condition?

For a single project or beginner, I think your best bet would be a headlight restoration kit.

I figured there had to be something dedicated around here somewhere. I bought a 3m kit off of amazon.

I've only ever tried polishing/restoring a dome once, and it ended with me needing to buy a new one.

I would recommend following all the steps. It can feel a bit tedious but it will show in the results. If you are just looking for light output you only need to do the face. The raised graphics on the top and bottom can be ruined or removed earlier on in the process.
