The center rear reflector on my '76 911 was pretty cloudy and scratched when I bought it. I went to Harbor Freight and bought a very cheap plastic polishing wheel - I think it is 6" or so, for my bench grinder and a plastic compund that (I think) was a medium blue color. The reflector came out like brand new.
The only tricks are to make sure you get a polishing wheel that is made for very soft materials like plastic (it'll have only one or two circumferential stitches on it), keep plenty of compound on the wheel as you polish it. Move fast and keep moving to make sure you don't stay in any one spot for longer than a moment or it'll burn the plastic. Works like a charm.
I think I literally have like $10-$12 in the whole setup and I have enough to polish all the plastic I will ever own!
