Meguiars Plast RX will help get rid of them, or a machine polisher  :happy2:

I wouldn't recommend that megs stuff. It's very course and might put in it's own scratches.

A good quality polish worked well by hand should improve it!

I polished over my rear lights by hand with some Sonus FX2 swirl remover while I was doing the paint and it seemed to work followed with a layer of wax they looked good as new, obviously not as good as a machine polish but might be more obtainable if you dont have a machine.
