Any product to remove slight scuffs/scratches from clear plastic???

Did a search to no avail...

My Halos have slight scuffs/scratches on the lens and I was wondering if there was product that would reduce them...

Not looking to completely sand down and repolish then lenses because other than a few small spots they look GREAT!

Is there anything that could help? Maybe something someone would use on the gauge cluster lens even...

Thanks!

I have a clear plastic polish by Meguiers. I have used to on all kinds of lenses and taillights. I'm sure this would do the trick. You can pick it up at any parts store. I believe mothers makes a polish just like it too.

I bought some Meguiar's PLASTX a couple weeks ago to use on my gauge lens... It made the lens clearer and helped a little on the deep scratch that's on it... But it's still there... You use it like wax... Rub it on, wipe it off.

Thanks for the PLASTX recommendations! I got some today and it worked well!!!

Huge difference! The scratches aren't all gone (some are) but they aren't noticeable now unless you know where to look, thanks!
