I recently purchased a fire truck that came with 2 AeroDynic mini bars that were the original roof mount warning system. The lights were removed and stored in less than optimal condition when the truck came out of service around 2000. I have the lights working now and want to clean the lenses before re-mounting. Before I just tackled them with what I thought made sense I wanted to see if anyone had a recommendation on what to do or what to avoid in the cleaning process.

The process is the same a cleaning any other poly carbonate type lenses. Start with just soap and water. See where that takes you, then you may need to either wet sand and polish. Or just polish with some Novus or Plastix depending on how bad they are.

Also just an FYI Federal still makes these domes new.. so you have that option as well.. for now.
