Have you tried using toothpaste (with a little baking soda if you have it)?

Rub covers with it on a damp cloth, rinse off, polish with a dry cloth

If you then smear a bit of olive oil on them the finish should last longer, but this is optional.

I have restored the 20-year old covers on my headlights three times doing the above.
