Mc Guiars Plastic x and buff.

Be careful as plastic heats up easily and deforms.

Buffing may work but depending on the severity of the scratch also. Try going to a Plastic Shop and see if they have specialized plastic scratch remover.

I scratched my corner light a while ago and couldnt get it off with anything from Autozone and found this plastic place where they gave me 3 different types of plastic which removes scratch, they had a level 1 which removes heavy scratches and all the way up to level 3 or 4 which removes fine scratches.

Hope this helps, good luck
