Default Clear plastic help

If you have some light scratches in clear plastic what the recommended way to buff them out? I don't wanna put anything on them that will melt/yellow the plastic.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Unfortunatly nothing if its plastic used for windows.

The only thing that works for a while is replacement.

Only thing I can think of would be either rear lights/indicators or headlight covers.

I dare say they don't but they don't go up and down in runners, or have slider mechanisms scratching the fcuk out of them though, do they..... ?

I'd love to know what he's on about just out of curiosity

Its one of my next mods on this car, but hated them with a passion on my last one, because they scratched sooo easily.
