Fine scratches in gauge lenses

I brought my 2000TL to the shop to replace the light behind the clock, and the mechanic must have wiped down my gauges with a rag. The scratches are only visible at an angle and really aren't that bad, but they still bother me. Does anyone know of a trick to get rid of them? Is there a product out there to get rid of scratches/swirls? If there isn't, someone should invent one. Thanks!

Who makes Plexus and where can you buy it? I have some scratches on my gauges already and it's driving me nuts. Thanks.

It took out all the fine scratches in my gauge face lenses in one application... they look new now. I also use it on my headlights and taillights.. it has improved the clarity and brightness of my headlight projection (since the lens it a lot clearer now).
