Plastic Polish

While giving the car a clean I've noticed the lights are getting into a kind of "scratched/cloudy" way. Can anyone recommend a good quality plastic polish that I can look for?

Excellent by hand or by machine.

Just be careful with the front lights, they have a vapour deposited anti scratch coating on them ( gives a slight iridescencent reflective effect) and if you polish this away you end up with a patch that looks different to the rest of the lens, plus they are then even more prone to scratching !!
