Step 2: Get some spray-cleaner typically used for dusting wood surfaces. This will especially work well if your glasses have a scratch coating that is coming off. Spray the cleaner on a rag and wipe it all over your plastic lenses, then wash off with soapy water. Repeat two to three times and your lenses should be back to good, scratch-free.

Step 3: Find some furniture polish. This will work on even badly scratched plastic. Put the polish on a soft cloth, then rub on lenses for at least three minutes. Then, wash and dry. The scratches should no longer be there. One negative thing side effect about furniture polish, however, is the smell.

Step 4: For a different approach, try cigarette ashes. Rub the ashes in the cracks of the scratches, using your fingers. Your glasses should wash clean. Repeat, rubbing for a few minutes, at least two times and your lenses should be scratch-free. This is a less popular technique, but has worked in the past.
