There is a 2 step cleaner/polish made by Mothers. Its inteded for exactly what you said. I've used it on my scuffed up tailights and it worked wonders!

Use any minor abbrasive like Meguire's Scratch X or 3M swirl remover. Then go to a polish. It will clear it all up. Meguire's also have plastic polish but no sence buying it if you can use the same stuff that you use on your paint.

And if the above dont work.......take them out and bring them to someone who restores cars or even polishes metal. They have a special rouge for plastics that will buff out that dull finish.
