    I've had really good results from a product called NOVUS scratch remover (red & white bottle) and a lot of elbow grease. It comes in different grades, I have the best finish from the #2. I've seen it in some auto supply shops and a little goes a long way. If you want to remove them from the car, you can also use the novus with a low speed, soft cotton buffing wheel. Have fun.....

    Try Blue Coral plexi polish and a Buffing pad on a Dremel or like rotary tool
    also there was a product called "SILVO" which we used to use when I was an optical benchman at a contact lens maker. It worked well on CR-39 optical quality plastic lenses so should work on Headlamp plastic, we used a 20K rpm motor and a buffing pad made of Dr. Scholls Moleskin.
