I have heard of this trick before, but I am concerned that it would not stick to the plastic long term, especially with anytime in the sun.  Have you tried this and had it work out long term?

There is another way I found that works great for taillight lens. Use 2000
wet sandpaper and lightly sand the lens, then use a good clear coat spray to
lightly coat the taillight lens. The lens will look like brand new, and will
last for years.

Meguire's makes a plastic polish (I believe it is #9) that is fantastic!  If
you can push hard and have a lot of stamina, you can restore a plastic
part's outer surface to brand new looking.  Just follow the directions, and
eat your Wheaties that morning.  Do NOT use any kind of a motorized tool,
you will burn the plastic (and please don't ask how I know that!)

Thanks.  Good advise.  I have cleaned them inside and out.  Any suggestions
on how to polish them?  Is there a particular method, tool, wax, coating,
etc. that is recommended?  I've used lots of elbow grease, soap and water
but they are still very dull.
