Default Scratches on plastic instrument lens

Does anyone know of a way to remove scratches from the clear plastic lens on the instrument dials? Somehow I've got some signicant scratches which are fairly ugly when the sun hits the instrument panel. If there is no product to help, is it possible to replace the lens and if so, how difficult would it be?

Thanks.

Maguires makes a cleaner and a polish. Comes in small plastic bottles. I can't remember the number however. Check with them, it works great!

if those don't work you can always go to a fish tank store and use the plexiglas polish made for that. They have 3 different formulas with varrying grits. My friend used this on a screen cover on his sony laptop and it got out the small to medium scratches and made the large ones a little less deep looking.
