So I was polishing it and got some (Sandpaper) on the plastic and now it’s like frosted looking. Is there a way to fix this? ---

Plastix Polish. You can pick some up at wal mart. I just use vaseline though, works for me. ---

I rubbed it on then wiped it off when spinning on a drill. ---

Alright, now it’s the same problem again. Except this time it won’t absorb the Vaseline. And there’s a layer of dirt in between the rims and the plastic. ---

Clean it with soap and water and try the vaseline again. ---

Clean it w/soap and water, then try some 1000 grit wet/dry paper used wet. After that use some of the plastic polish that auto parts stores sell for refinishing headlight lenses. ---
