I had an 83 f100 and the tail lights were hazed big time. I sanded them down with 1,000 grit sandpaper and then clear coated them. They looked like brand new. Had a friend accuse me of lying because they looked so good.
1,000 grit may be an exaggeration. I honestly don't remember what it was but it was very, very fine.
