Picking up this discussion on a related matter (rather than opening up a new one):

I want to restore the Marco Polo BEN compass and could use guidance on 2 things: (1) what's the nest way to polish the bubble glass that appears to be a bit cloudy? (2) There's an air bubble inside the compass... how do I go about adding fluid to top off the compass and eliminate it, and what sort of fluid should I use?

Can't help with that brand of compass regarding the refill, but I've used a good multi-step headlight clearing system (Sylvania?) with excellent results on fogged Plastimo compass globes.

The ones that come with several fine sandpaper discs or just an abrasive cream?

With three progressive sand papers, cream, and the special lens solvent. I was amazed how well it worked.
