Scratches in taillight

On the pass side taillight on my 91 someone scratched hell out of it . I am hoping the scratches can be sanded and polished out.

I ran my finger nail over the scratches and it barely catches so I hope they all come out with the wet sanding. If not the search will begin for a replacement taillight.
