There are several methods to get a good result...
Here is mine :
Sanding delicately (outside) with paper sanding grain 600 (with water) then with grain 1000 (with water) and then polishing with a German product MONIDUR. It is necessary to adapt the procedure following the state of the lens surface... If the stripes are very light you polish directly with the MONIDUR.
The result is perfect on my gauges... Here the link of the product I used.
Of course... It's only for minor or moderate scratches and also for the normally transparent lens that have become somewhat opaque because when it is too damaged there is no miracle...
