It looks like the plastic is hazed over? If so then what I have always used is a fine automotive polish. not compound, polish. If you are near a marina they will have a lot of stuff just for that purpose but of course you will pay boat prices for it and it is the same thing, polish. Even if you get them nice and clear they are going to fade again within a year or so. Once the degradation process starts there is no stopping it. It is the same as hazed over headlights on cars.

I used QD Electronic Cleaner on them along time ago, it cleared up the haze, now this was a long time ago, so probably not the same stuff, thus it might not work as well?
