I started with 2000 wet paper, and then 3000 paper, and now I'm using Wizard's Crystal Clear plastic cleaner and polish (seems to be the same result as the Meguiars I have). I've been polishing and polishing them.
For a final polish, would it be good to put them to a polishing pad on a wheel??

The look great, but you can see some slight marks and swirls at angles.

Thanks!
 
I would think it would work but watch out for too much heat from the friction.

I do not recommend using any motorized means of polishing clear lenses (or red and amber). Crazing can happen too fast and before you know it, it is ruined. I also just use Colgate white toothpaste with a soft rag to polish all my plastic items. No sandpaper is needed.
 
we use this for cleaning and polishing plastic lens, works great
