There's several ways you can do it...
Either wet sanding...or using plastic polish my hand

What i did was used a polisher and plastic polish...came off pretty quick and polished up my tailights and the center piece at the same time

I used some 3m 2000 grit sand paper along with some 3m fine grit rubbing compound, it worked great.
