It's super easy to do. I just keep the lens wet the entire time I'm using the toothpaste while applying moderate pressure in circular motions. I do that until my white rag stops turning yellow from the oxidation. Then I use the polishing compound to take out any swirls that may have been caused by the toothpaste (never noticed any but I figured they were there, probably just too small to see). After that a good couple coats of wax go on to protect them.
In other news: finally ordered some ATE super blue so I can get some fresh stuff in my brakes. Also got some D0T3 for my clutch. Time for her 90k mile maintenance and I'm starting with engine oil, brakes and clutch. Moving to transmission differential and radiator the next weekend. After I finish with maintenance, I'll be able to start working on the fun stuff...

Z looks great, Taywan. And I think he's doing it wrong, lol. My headlights were kinda bad but I used a good compound and buffed them while I was buffing my car. Clean and clear. Next time I'll try the toothpaste method.
Just finished up an oil change and had my wheels balanced along with a free car wash from Nissan. I should be done with maintenance for a while. All I need now is a new Y-pipe, lol. OEM is $500. So with that $500, I'll just use that towards a full exhaust.
