    Novus! It's what we use on the plexiglass vitrines at museums. Novus 2 and then 1 should work fine.

              If, and after you get the lens perfect, cover the lens in XPEL or clear bra to protect it.

                      Brasso works good too

                      Brasso can also be used to polish out scratches in plastics:

                      It is used to polish CDs, DVDs, screens, and pools in order to repair scratches. It is a mild solvent and an extremely fine abrasive, so when applied to the reflective surface of the disc and rubbed radially (in straight lines between the edge and center), it can smooth scratches and reduce their effect.[5][6][7]
                      Brasso can also be used on Lego minifigures to remove markings.[8]
                      Brasso has also been used by watch enthusiasts to polish scratches out of acrylic crystals on watches.[9]
                      Brasso can be used to clean Nintendo Entertainment System cartridges to remove dirt buildup that may have accumulated on the metal contacts over the years. This helps to create a better connection between the game cartridge and the 72-Pin connector inside the console, reducing the chances of glitching or freezing caused by a poor connection

                      Don't worry about what you can't change.
                      Do the best you can with what you have.
                      Be honest, even if it hurts.

                      "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery" ... Winston Churchill

                        Well the norvus worked great . Gauge lens looks brand new in the truck

                        yeah when you hold it up to the light you can still see all sorts of little scratches

                        but the dont seem to matter in reality once you get it install you cant tell they are there anymore . And it looks a whole lot better . looks only 1 or 2 years old instead of 30

                        I even try it on an old unusable pair of glasses and it fixed them up too

                          LOL. Just take some 2000grit and wet sand them and then go back over with some type of headlamp restorer, I got some blue stuff from advance that smells like cat piss. And then take some wax and buff them out.
