My tail lights are scratched (swirled) and I'm wondering what I can do to clean them up, along with the center plastic filler panel? I've got some Mother's Aluminum polish, and it did an OK job on my truck's yellowed headlights (along with the grill ;)). If that doesn't do it, how about...

I've got a metallic green '95 GMC Sierra as my daily driver, and it's been a while since I've done a full detail on it. I have DACP and #9, so I'm thinking I'll hit it with those, but as much as I enjoy reapplying wax every three weeks on my T/A, I'd like something really durable on the truck...
