RE: scratched lights (Forward)

[Robert Myers <rmyers@inetone.net>]

Tom,

Jeweler's rouge is a very fine grade abrasive made of iron oxide (rust).
It is (used to be?) used as a final polish for jewelry.  It is reddish in
color and has a texture much like a lady's rouge make up.  Hence,
"Jeweler's rouge".  

Will it work on a pitted windshield?  I have no idea but if someone tries
it and has success please be sure to publicize the fact.

"Torsen list", huh, Tom?  I like it.  And I though the Dutch were s'posed
to be humorless.  Oder vas dat der Shermans?  :-)
