You need to polish them with cutting compound the same as you would use on the paint if it was scratched.
I use a rotary polisher and they come up like new after a little work just don’t get them to hot

I haven’t used Tcut for years there are much better products around now but I would think it would be ok. Just try a bit on an edge. To get them like new would take a while by hand but just to clean them up remove the milky marks should be easy to do

I went to Halfords where they have a load of different makes I opted for Turtle Wax "Safe Cut" in the end and it has worked very wellThe passenger side H/light has almost gone back to normal and the milkynesss from the drivers has gone too
They need another treatment, I think and some more elbow grease - I noticed when I got up, that my forearms are aching 
so must have been polishing like the devil
What cutting product do you find to be the best

I used Menzerna fine polish with a finishing pad on a rotary machine. I got a bit into detailing the car after reading Polished Bliss website and reviews on here it can get very expensive
but my cars have never looked better

I know detailing can get very expensive and obsessive !!! I am looking for scratches to sort out every other minute especially as I have now seen what can be done with alot of effort, the posts in the car care section really get you going
