They look brand new!!!
Do you need a electric polisher or would a bit of elbow grease do the job?
Would T cut be okay instead of polishing compound?

I think it's Brasso that people use to great effect for a more simple freshen up of the headlights.

Tried on a pretty scuffed up spare fog light I've got, I used some 2000WD and t cut but its still pretty scuffed up, should I try with 3000 instead or will this not be hard enough to clear the fog light up?

What about the UV ? I think it is necessary to use some coating after polishing, otherwise the UV will age the polycarbonate very soon (within months, depending on the sunlight intensity of your location).
