Rear light cluster scratches

Hi, I have noticed that there are a lot of scratches on my NSR light cluster that I have not noticed before or have any idea how they got there but I am wondering if anybody has ideas/methods that would work to polish them out if at all possible? Not sure how clearly they will show in the attached images but here goes!

Very likely these will polish out with a medium polishing compound like Menzerna 500 and then a buff with 800.

You could do by hand, but with a decent mop polisher no more than 15 mins work, make sure you carefully mask the paintwork though, you don't want to be spilling over to the paint.

Agree - they should just polish out. I had the same after someone in a car park caught the bumper and light and the bumper was re sprayed but the body shop just polished the light unit and it was like new.

Are you sure they are scratches and aren't fractures in the plastic? The rear light clusters have been known for the plastic to get brittle and split.

You can get new lenses for c.£50, so no big deal if ever needed or if you can't get the scratches out. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

Yeah defo scratches and quite deep as well. Some of it has polished out but I will have to look at the replacement option to get it back to its pristine condition. Thumbs Up _______________________________________________

You can get some clear wrap to protect them once they're back up to scratch, pun intended Fuji White / Jet 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster

I know it's a bit late for the OP now, but it's really easy to remove the rear light assembly, so that might be easier than masking up.
