I'm not to familiar with semaphores, but if they are made of the same plastic as taillight lenses you could polish them yourself quite easily. just buy a buffing wheel, (insert into drill press for a stationary polisher),some fine polish, and go to town!

Industrial plastics sells  a 2 part compound ( 1-polish;1-protectant)
I can't think of the name, I used it when I had to detail convertible rear(plastic windows)

Crappy Tire / Lordco may sell it....
