tail light on G60 has fine scratches like someone ran over it with sand paper. how do I buff it out? tried to take pictures of it, but the scratches are too fine to show up using phone camera. here's a random picture of an identical tail light. the scratch is about the size of a two pennies located at the top edge of the corner(in the circle I marked)

Thanks for your help!

You could try Meguiar's PlastX:

You can polish plastic (just like all other surfaces on your car). Just go super-gentle and super carefully since plastic is soft and will require way less pressure and time-on-target than paint.

Regular paint polish will work.
If you want something fancier, any of the light cluster polishing compounds (sold at AutoZone, Wallmart, etc.) can be used.

Thanks1 I used to live in Great Falls...

I have a bottle of leftover Plastx from Meguiars(for my other car's headlight), so I'll give that a try tomorrow.

somehow it never occurred to me that the headlight and taillight are basically the same clear plastic material.

Update: it worked great! The scratches are gone.(or at least invisible to my eyes)
