you polish it,

not sure if you'd use metal polish or plastic polish though..
maybe theres a glass polish you can buy.

but yeah, just sand it with progressively higher grit sand paper(dont start too low grit or it'll leave grooves in it) then finish up by polishing it.

lots of rubbing in ur future!
