I see a lot of talk about headlight Restoration and UV protection. Anything out there for taillights and other colored lenses?

Same as headlights. Polish and protect preferably with some UV protection.

So materials for headlights are safe on colored lenses too?

If you're cleaning up light oxidation and grime, any good chemical polish will work great. Metal polishes usually qualify nicely for this - Optimum Metal Polish is terrific. As is Poorboy's Professional Polish.

If you need to correct scratches and etching, then the abrasives come out to play. I usually start with a finishing paint polish - Megs 205, for example - to see if that helps (least aggressive first). Nonetheless, you can certainly work your way up to compounds and even sanding, as needed. I use a paint sealant for protection afterward.

Just use Plex-All from DP , perfect at keeping taillamps new and crystal clear.
