Meguiars Plast RX will help get rid of them, or a machine polisher  :happy2:

I wouldn't recommend that megs stuff. It's very course and might put in it's own scratches.

Machine polisher it is then! Good call on that Jay. I was going to use some in a few weeks on my headlights, but now ill just go back to a finishing polish me thinks  :happy2:

A good quality polish worked well by hand should improve it!

as said i would reccomend the plastic-x Megs stuff either. The right polish and pad combo will sort you out  :happy2:

I polished over my rear lights by hand with some Sonus FX2 swirl remover while I was doing the paint and it seemed to work followed with a layer of wax they looked good as new, obviously not as good as a machine polish but might be more obtainable if you dont have a machine.
