Call an authorized fabricator for the particular product you have- it's not something you're going to fix by yourself if you want it to look right.

Clear epoxy followed by a polishing will give you good results.

You need a hard, 2 part, clear epoxy. You can get this at Home Depot.

You can polish it down using very fine sandpaper, followed by a polishing compound. If you go this way, make sure you have the least amount of epoxy on the surface, as rubbing it down will take a long time and it is easier to get rid of excess while wet.
