What can be done with a scuffed magnifying plastic on my Explorer?
About 1/3rd of the mag on my Explorer is scuffed/scraped and I would like to fix it.
 
Never tried it myself, but they make a polish (do a search for Polywatch) made for polishing out scratched plastic watch faces/crystals. It might work on the magnifier.
 
If you are in US, the container store do sell these plastic polish solutions. They are great for repairing any scratches on Vic scale, either cellidor or translucent, and I bet they may even work on the plastic lens of older models of Victorinox.

dip to recoat a high gloss surface
(don't touch lens
wipe off excess on lens frame
better to dry off side ways
prevents excess drip from forming
a distortion in the center of the lens)
or polish it out
(just the "fine" tube would do
and it works on scales to)

In the watch world, many use smooth toothpaste to clean and polish scratched crystals. I've done it using Pepsodent (my brand of toothpaste) and my Omega Speedmaster Professional which comes with a Hesalite crystal. Cotton ball, tiny dab of toothpaste, and gentle circular motions. Or, like was mentioned, you can buy Polywatch.
