Clean with iso propyl alcohol and very soft cloth for glasses.
Polish?! The amount of time you might as well buy new pair.

the reading glass pictured are dollar store.

The Magnifying Glass are not. I got them at Michael's craft store. For more that a dollar!

The read glass did not get sprayed with clear. They are just fingerprint dirty...

I’ve always used T-Cut Original for cleaning overspray off my ready readers, and it also works wonders on Mr. Color clear lacquer too. Word of warning though, use a specific spectacles cleaning cloth with VERY light pressure for best results. ;-)

I suppose Brasso would work too?

Sorry Bill I should have been clearer I just meant normal dirty glasses this time, fingerprints etc... But will keep your tips in mind for modelling accidents....
