How about a Dremel with a buffer tool on the end?

Maybe check with the local body shop or paint supply store and see what they have?

In my experience, dremels turn too fast to control the heat buildup on plastic.
Meguiars (sp?) makes a fine plastic cleaner/polish.
That, an old school (clean) diaper and elbow grease make for a good looking lense.

use a razor blade then if you scratch the glass slightly, polish it with a buffer and compound.

Check with a sign shop and ask if they have "Lacqueryl"... I may have messed up the spelling. I used to work for a sign guy and this is what we used on plastic or lexan sign panels to remove paint without ruining the face. I'll check into it on Monday.
