3M makes a polish for plastic - that I used when 'shaving' the lenses on my Miata - it is extremely effective for clearing plastic lense scratches - I'll need to access my polish shelf in the garage to get you the exact anme of the 3M product - I'm in the office right now...but its there...

really depends on how bad how deep.
plexus is the solution for minor probs-
for deeper, its more difficult.

I've had success with 3M Swirl Mark Remover on my Civic.

wannabe you're too good.

I'm willing to be wrong here but when I shaved my Miata tail light lenses - I used - with very good results after wet sanding on plastic lenses - 3M's glaze polish ... totally restored the sheen on the lenses. Don't know if the S's headlight lenses will respond as well?
