This might help, same concept just with eyeglasses.

Re: goggle scratch repair
It all depends on how deep the scratches are on the lenses. Just think about what a scratch is. It's actually a small removal of material from the surface of the lens. So to repair them you have two options. One is to fill it. This usually does not go very well because it takes skill and the correct epoxy to fill in. Secondly is with polishing. Essentially polishing is removal of surface material in a controlled situation. So if you are going to polish your lens with toothpaste and you have deep scratches it's not really going to help. If you just have some shallow scratches then it may help out some. Keep in mind though that some lenses come with a protective cover to keep from fogging.
