2. Buy a bottle of MEGUIRES Plastic Polish (auto parts store).
3.Half fill a bucket with water and put the sandpaper in the bucket.
4. Use a sponge to really wet the lenses and then with the sand parer really soaked good go to work.
5. Start with the 800 grit paper and hand sand horizontally (keep washing the lens with water as you go and also keep the sand paper wet). Once the discoloration starts to disappear, switch to the 1000 grit, and keep on going until you are at the 2500 grit which is just to smooth the lenses.
6. Dry the lens and start hand buffing the lens with the plastic polish (any direction). Let the polish dry to a haze and remove with a clean cloth and see how she looks (more light snading or more polish may be required).
I did this on my 1996 Caravan and 1998 Neon and the lenses really shine, the secret is to not use too much pressure when sanding and that is why I do not reccomend a power buffer.
