Default Tail light scratches

Is there any way the center piece of my tail lights can be restored? Like is there a rubbing compound I can use to buff out the scratches?

here's a pic:

Its easy to do... and I value my time a lot... which makes me very expensive to work on others cars. But if you need me to let me know.
