I dunno what kinda scratches you mean..but i had some lite swirl mark scratches in my 95 on the taillights. Believe it or not..i just waxed them like i do the car..and it took 80% of them out.

you could wetsand it..just make sure you polish it up good. I actually wet sanded my clear corners before i had them painted with the Ram Air and WS6 just to get a cleaner look. Those turned out good..but they arent nearly as big as the tailights lol. Id try like a small corner and see what happens.
