Is there anyone in the UK that could recommend the best way to sort these scratches out on my rear lights. Photos might not show them up properly but very noticeable in broad daylight. As much as the boot light looks like it is steamed up which it isnt

Apparently there is some american stuff called Mothers Plastic Polish

Any help would be great

Headlight restoration kit should definitely sort it.

Tape off light lenses from bodywork and try Jeweller's Rouge or Brasso metal polish but not the wadding, rather the liquid in metal bottles. And plenty of elbow grease.
There are plenty of YouTube videos from detailers who restore scratched/cloudy lenses. Frankly, I don't know how they get so bad in the first place unless folks take their cars to auto washes.

If you know someone with a machine polisher, that should get those scratches out in no time at all.
