Yes, they can usually be polished to look like new.  Easier if the center bezels are removed, but that can open a can of worms... best to polish around them, cover with tape so the plastic chrome doesn't come off.

Thank you---I know we polish windshields on helicopters, however that plexiglass is considerably thicker, thus it is rather impossible  to burn them---is any SAAC member undertaking tusk of polishing and at what cost

I have done this on other, lesser, vehicles in the past by hand with toothpaste.  It has been so long I can't remember the end result too well.
