I am interested too. I was debating on investing in a small random orbital like this one http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...ortby=ourPicks and some glass polish to see what i could do.. but then again thats expensive for a set of lenses and might not be able to get deep pits. :( interested to see what you find.
bump. curious to know myself.
These guys in the UK sell the Hella clear lenses.

Curious if the lettering is raised on the glass?
Harry - at one point I had several pairs original glass with pitting and scratches. I took them to a few glass shops in town and turned away the work because they knew the attempt would be unsuccessful.
was afraid of that. oh well, there goes my excuse for getting a 3" random orbital.
i know a guy who details very high end rare cars for a living.. mostly ones that start with F and M. he is the one who brought my paint from the dead. I am going to ask him if he knows of anything that he does for cars with glass parts that are NLA.. worth a shot.
I've had good luck in the past with clearcoating glass. first, etch the glass, I used crushed glass blasting. then spraying with high quality catalysed automotive clear coat , I used PPG. will last for a few years before needing to be re-freshed. much easier the second time. a quick wet sand of the existing clear coat. then spray.
removing pits or scratches from glass is near impossible without very specialized equipment.
