Get the lense restored. Did it for a buddy and worked out great. Good as new.

We got it done by the local car wash. They charged him $30 because it wasn't that bad. And looked brand new when done.

Do you spray them above the mulch or just let them dry there?
I'm suprised you don't kick up any dirt/dust if you do spray there

I had them elevated some above and let them dry on concrete in the open sun, no dirt or anything

3M sells a nice lens restoration kit. I used it on my '97 200SX, and WOW, night and day difference. It works awesome. Be careful since the lenses aren't 'flat', since you put it on a drill... But with a bit of caution, I believe you'll have awesome results!
