SoCal by Los Angeles.

It really isn't that hard bro seriously, just take 600 grit and wet sand till smooth, then jump to 1000 grit till most of the heavy scratches are gone, then jump to 1800/2000 for the finer stuff, then polish with plastic polish/fine scratch remover. It will be good as new. Just take a lil time. It is just like polishing the car, tedious but easy.

^^^ That might be for just whistler mod, but Black02 wants to clear up the lenses too. So you gotta add in sandpaper, and plastic polish too.

600grit- 3.50
1000grit- 3.50
2000grit- 3.50
polish- 8
18.50

I couldn't find any 3m plastic polish so I just used some shitty car polish (some offbrand stuff that was given to me) I had laying around and a microfiber applicator. Didn't do too bad.

I gotta order some 3m plastic polish off the net.
