Polishing Plastic Headlights

Question:

The plastic headlights are getting somewhat pitted on my '99 996 C2. I read somewhere that they are not a typical plastic material. Do you have any recommendations on polishing them? Even if I can't get the deep pits I'd be happy to clean them up as best as possible.

Answer:

Tiny micro pits can be lightly sanded with 2000 and soapy water then polished with Blue Magic and P21SI have removed simular damage on 997 driving lamps with great success.
