Depending on how bad it is.... 3M finesse it does wonders with a buffer. I have polished many pieces up to better than new with finnesse. Keep in mind it is just a polish and contain no wax to protect the surface so a wax need to be added after.... But I have the shiniest plexi east of Bejing....

I did mine last year (smoke colored). Started wet sanding with 1500 grit, then sanded with 2000 grit and buffed with
3M finesse. Looks like new. Works great for cloudy headlights on your car too.

Thanks for all of the replies. I was just worried about using something that will tear it up. It has a big warning sticker on it about scratching it up real bad if used with the wrong stuff. Thanks again!!!

You can buy an acrylic repair kit from an online aquarium supply site. It has sandpaper that goes from 3500 to 12,000 grit. If you feel lucky, you could even flame polish!!
