We repair lightly scratched headlamps at work by flatting with 1000 and then 2000 and then G3 on a polishing mop, works a treat
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I've used 1000-grit wet sanding, followed by a commercial plastic polish, with great success. If you're careful, it will come out clear
as glass.

Second the toothpaste. Fairly gentle so you'll struggle to make things worse (which could be easy with stronger abrasive pastes)...
