The one on the right side of the photo has a clearer shine.......the one on the left side of the photo appears to have micro scratches taking away the clearness of the shine.

I've heard Brasso is great for restoring the shine on plastic tail lights......never tried it myself yet......but I plan to. I do have a plastic polish used for polishing hard clear plastic in another hobby and it smells like Brasso.
