Menzerna is a German company.
Try their Super Intensive Polish with a light cutting pad (4" diameter) on a random orbit or oscillating buffer. If the scratches are deeper, try a cutting pad. Follow up with a Final Polish and a plastic lens sealer.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
I use menzerna

also and if you follow the diy procedure listed in the diy section on benzworld.org w210 section for polishing the plastic lenses with several grades of wet sand paper and a good buffing with menzerna as stated above,they will look brand new.Keep the buffer moving and don't let it heat up to much.
