If you wish to polish plastic lenses get these items:;
from a fabric store:...1/2 square yard of velvet or velveteen
1/2 sq. yard of 1" thick foam rubber padding
from a hardware store:
get one of those 5" rubber discs designed to hold sanding discs for your drill, 
1 can of "Silvo" silver polish.
Glue a 5" disc of the foam to the rubber sanding disc, then cover the foam with the velvet / or velveteen. 
Soak the fabric liberally with the "Silvo"
Clamp the taillight lens in your vise securely using something to pad the jaws, (rags and duct tape are fine)
cut the bottom out of a cardboard box and place it over the vise so contain the inevitable flying spray of Silvo
place the pad onto the lens and start polishing making sure to keep the pad moving and keep the pad wet with the silvo. in 10 minutes you will get a nice, shiny surface.
