i dont think you can clean that or anything. my guess is to get a stock housing and replace the scraped one with it. good luck

Nah thats fixable I work at car dealership what we do for a plastic lense with scratches is

- wet sand it down with some 600 paper
-hit it again with 1500 paper
- take some compound and buff (hopfully you have a good buffer wheel)

presto all plastic lenses are like paint you can sand and buff

works great on those old 88-91 stock tails

These came with a car that I bought from auction with front end damage. The scrapes arent engraved, its only the surface

If those scratches aren't too deep try PLEXUS plastic polish. You can find it at boat supply stores.
