Yes, there is. Go to your local pep boys, or wherever you purchase your automotive cleaning/detailing supplies and look for a rubbing compound made specifically for removing scratches in plastic. Off hand, I'm not sure on the name...But there IS stuff available to remove scratches in plastic.

scratches in lexan/clear plastic ==

if the car dealer cant help try like a paintball store, (they make a scratch remover type deal for goggles)

otherwise a hobby store? (RC car bodies are clear lexan)

if not, i bet the junkyard would have a busted ass gauge cluster oyu could take apart.

Scratches in Lexan are pretty much not repairable, or at least to a point where it's unoticeable if it's clear.

On R/C lexan bodies, I used wax, and it worked fine.

I have had some scratches that I removed with Mothers plastic polish. This stuff is cheap $5.50 for the bottle and works great.
