I used some Mothers Plastic Polish on my tail light after i think some scratches appeared on it. Id say they looked as if someone with a studded belt had leaned on the car and then slid down to the bumper.
i put the polish on using a powerball and while it didnt take them out completely (i didnt expect it to with how rough they felt) it did blend them quite well so you can only see them at a certain angle when the light is just right.

when i brought my TBSS home from the dealer, I noticed a few scratches on my tail lights - nothing major. I figured I'd try to get them out before I decide to go back to the dealer and complain because dealerships can be a pain in themselves. Anyways - the product I use is Novus Plastic Polish NO. 3 and NO. 2. Then to clean the lens up a bit I use Kleenmaster Brillianize to wipe away excess polish. The Novus NO. 3 is for heavier scratches so I use that first then the NO. 2, then the Brillianize. It took the scratches off my tail lights completely - it's a great product. If I were you - I'd try this stuff first before taking sand paper to my tail lights because I'd be afraid of putting more scratches in or making them hazy/scuffed up. Hope this helps! Good luck!
