Doesn't cure crazing sadly .. but the bar I recieved had a a lot of bug guts and residue on it and I didn't have to take out the polisher and the flitz . Just a little magic.. and then buffed with some polish

I've used it as a start to cleaning process with dish soap.


But found it still leaves marks then you need to do the usual wetsanding and final buffing.

So yea or nay on this?


I'd be willing to try it out, if it doesn't damage the lenses.

When using a Magic Eraser, you need to remember that it is an abrasive, not really magic! You should always test a small spot that won't be seen if it leaves a mark. Never start across the face of a lens or dome without testing first.

i found the only cure for crazing is aggressive wetsanding.

I just did an entire set of Edge lenses in record time with this!! You have to polish them with Plastix or similar and the results are amazing. It does not craze the lens either! My new go-to!!

I'm sorry, I tried this. $3.99 for a couple pads.


Doesn't do anything on the heavy grit, bug juice and other stuff.


I will stick to my wet sand and polish.


I'm sorry but there are no short cuts to making our babies look like new................
