I have heard of some people polishing them up to make them look real nice. You might try that.

I just cleaned them out real good, ruffed up the outside a little with 2000 grit, then clearcoated them. This after polishing them once, then seeing them fog back up in 2 mos.

They look brand new now. Hope this helps.
