Default rear tail lights scratch

kk so some how my rear tail light has been scratched a little.

so i would absolutely love to fill these scratches or buff them or something just not sure what to use.

the scratches arnt deep, their like if some 1 dropped a single piece of 180grit sandpaper on the plastic.

so i dun think they need to be filled.

I would do the bare minimum to remove the scratches.
I would try, in order
1,Plexus,
2,fine polish,
3,slightly more coarse Polish for oxidized paint
4,Compound,
5,400 grit wet/dry with wet soapy water!

Find which of these remove the scratches and then reverse the order (ie if you got to 3 and the scratches were gone then finish with 2 and 1)
till the lens is smooth and glassy again.
