I have removed many scratches in aircraft plexiglass. Aviation suppliers have a sandpaper kit you can purchase or maybe make up your own.
Start with a coarse sandpaper , about 200, then use finer and finer paper for each step, always going at approx 60 degree angle to previous step.
As I recall the finish sandpaper was about a 2000.
basically smooth-- then polish. McGuires is one polish available. Do search for aircraft supplies.
'Aircraft Spruce & Speciality" probably sells it.
Lots of work, but can be done.

Forget it for the most part,unless the scratches
are really light,then you can use the canned stuff. Any agressive buffing will distort the
plastic..... . CalJim

Yep can be done but it takes a lot of work and a lot of time. Best thing I have found its tooth paste and a soft rag and work and more work. I had a watch that I messed up once and I used tooth paste on and got it clean as day again but it took a lot of work and time to do so. Some how payment and 55MPH and a motor cycle doesn't work well. Very long story but any how thats how I did it
