Default Instrument cluster scratches

Hey guys,
I have no idea how I did it, but on both the mp/h guage, and gas guage I have a ~1 inch scratch on the clear plastic covers. They've become an eye magnet for me and I hate it. Can someone recommend me a plastic scratch remover and polish that might work well in this situation?
Thanks,
Mike

if it's too deep, likely that nothing will work.

you can try plastx by meguiars, but be careful, I think you need to apply a lot of pressure to make it work and you wouldn't want to damage the gauge more...

I have a feeling they are too deep for scratch remover. I can feel them with my fingernail. Which makes me wonder how the heck I got them in the first place. I'll try the Meguire's stuff gently just to see if it has any effect at all on the scratch. Thanks man.
One more question hopefully someone can answer. Is it a huge project to replace these lenses?
