Polishing compound? Buffer wheels? There are tons of ways to do it.
Google plastic polishing.

if they're light scratches, ... wait for it....


... toothpaste.. yep. Crest leaves your lenses minty fresh :)

toothpaste is good for buffing/polishing plastic..

yea toothpaste works, you can polish anything with that. Some old paint guy told me about it being a trick they use. Any kind of toothpaste will work since it's meant as a very unabrasive polish on teeth. Polishing something doesn't work like a wax where it just covers/fills the scratches. It actually sands them away so the shine should still be there after washing your car. You should still google it up.

wet sand with 1500 grit and buff with 3m rubbing compound, that should do the trick.
