Default Best way to clean stone guards?

I have a 2009 Carrera S and the stone guards never seem to get clean enough. I wouldn't say that they're yellowed like I have seen on others, but more like I just haven't found the right product to use to really clean them.

Any suggestions?

thanks!

They look scratched from something abrasive, try a foam pad with swirl remover on a buffer.

You may need to polish those. After 11 years on the car, I would want to replace them.

Agreed look pretty badly hazed from scratches. Probably abrasive cleaners or sponges. You can try buffing. A headlight refurbish process might work or you can progress through the various grit paint polishes and buff it back out. It probably wont be too much $ to have a PPF shop peel them off and replace. I had that done on my M4 they had enough gouges from rocks that they looked bad. I think it cost me $100.

Agree with Bxstr, replace them. My wife’s 2009 C4S were badly hardened and dull. Order a new set. To remove your old, you will need this simple tool to help you gently peel and remove:
