If its a very shallow scratch you might be able to polish it out with one of those headlight polishing kits but you will need one that goes from coarse polish to the very finest to do a satisfactory job.

However for less than the cost of one of those kits you can buy a sheet of Lexan and make your own 1/2 dozen replacements if you are so inclined and short on dough.

You might be surprised to know that you can cut Lexan with a carbide tipped circular saw wood blade just fine and use a mill to produce an exact shape.

Those CNC mills could probably turn one out in a few minutes at very little cost.

The replacements don't seem to cost that much but polishing or making your own might save a few bucks.
