    To be honest i just did mine which were much worse than the ones in these pictures.
    I used a high speed buffer and 3M part# 05933 perfect-it #3
    it is a very fine cutting compound to buff paint.
    1) put on a thin coat and use the buffer carefully on the light fixture for a few min.
    2) wipe it all off to inspect the spots you missed, then do it again to finish it again.
    3) use a good wax like Zmyol to seal the plastic or the problem will return rather quickly.

    DA = Dual Action - supposed to produce less "swirl" marks.
