Meguiars PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish

anyone have this? I have scratches on my headlights and im trying to think of ways to get them out.

I heard that I can use compound.. but, I rather get some more opinions.

The scratches arent deep... but, I guess a lil deep? And a lot of swirly type marks and rock chips? idk... Anyway to get SOME of it out?

It's gonna be hard to get out scratches and chips, since that's considered damage. Only way would be some kind of sanding, but that might make it worse.

I hear a lot of guys WET-SAND their headlights. I've seen the results, and they look really good (like almost good-as-new), but I'm too chickensh1t to try it myself.
I have the PlastX stuff here, I bought it for my headlights. IMO since it IS a microabrasive eventually with enough elbow grease you'll get scratches out. But really without subjecting it to an electric buffer you'll only get minor swirl marks out.
