outside is easy.
go to a plastics specialty shop or online purchase some Novus, apply, BUFF HARD, wipe off.
inside, you would need to drain the tank and then do the same thing. there are some companies that sell some U/W micro polish kits, but i have no idea how well they work.

You can also use a buffer with the novus, it will remove more scratches and speed things up.
I would recommend it.

I used Micro Mesh sandpaper which is cheaper to use than the official scratch removal kits out there. They have all the ultra fine grits. I then used the Novus line and a car buffer. We did a 100g and it was ALOT of work. But it's purdy now!
Also a child is a good item to have. Throw them in there with the eletric buffer.

Remember you are removing material very time you use an abrasive
