I've done quite a few... basically they are all the same.... You can do a wetsanding procedure and make them "perfect"....
Any detailer can fix them, might call a few detailing shops around you. It shouldn't be that expensive, as its really not that hard.

The lenses I worked on are plastic.
The 3M compound I used was standard rubbing compound in the grey plastic bottle, its just some cheap stuff I picked up at Autozone so I wouldn't waste my Menzerna and Meguiars on playing around...
