I've never tried it. I'm not sure what you could use to polish it with.
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Yes they can. First sand with 3000 wet n dry and then polish using meguiars 205 or similar
Same process as used to sort misted plastic car headlights
