restoring lens???

hey i am in the process of taking the tint of of my tailights. prior to tinting my tailights i had to wetsand the lights so the paint can grip better, i was wondering if a lens restorer could get the light looking new again. any other suggestions to get the tailights looking new again are welcome, thanks

Use 320 or 400 to take the tint off.... and pending on the work load you want to do, you can just wetsand with 1500-2000-2500 and Polish it out.

Or 320-400 to take the tint off, and use the materials of your choice
