I found that putting the clear shipping tape on the display before going into
the rough will save the display.

A slightly more aggressive approach is to pick up the headlight lens cleaner
sold at most automobile stores - the stuff that takes the "yellow" haze off of
plastic headlight covers. It's also sold for use on aircraft windshields to
polish out the scratches that inevitably come from charging through the air at
150 mph or so (but that costs 10X as much because it is sold for use on
"airplanes").
All you do is wipe it on, rubbing aggressively with a cloth and then, as it
turns white, wipe it off.
I've read of people using toothpaste with the same result. (And then you'd have
a fluoride protected lens that won't get tooth decay.)

Nick,
The easiest is to use a bit of oil on a cloth and rub the area with some
pressure.
That will take care of scuff marks, but it will not eliminate scratches that
have gouged into the plastic.
If the plastic surface has been gouged, I think the best thing is to order a
new bezel.
