    Car polish normally does the trick. If they're real bad i use Mother's Mag Wheel Polish and it comes up pretty quick. Works on badly faded Polycarbonate headlights too

    I have seen/used two methods.

    1. Used autosol to polish the plastic up, they came up a treat.
    2. Rub with brown scotchbrite, then spray them with a clear coat.

    Both made them look brand new.
