Acrylic can be polished with a very fine abrasive like rubbing compound, simonize or even toothpaste.  I have removed small scratches from acrylic crystal with plain old Colgate.  Little bit bigger scratch I have used DuPont no 7 rubbing compound.  After all the acrylic in an acrylic car laquer is just a very thin film version of the acrylic in a watch crystal. I think most watch crystals are what was once sold as either Plexiglass or Lucite depending on who made the acrylic  Very similar polymers are used in old acrylic auto paints.
