I don't think you will ever reach crystal clarity.
Mine started out where you couldn't even see the bulb and reflector, now you can but the major pits are still there.
I'd say you'd have to take 2-3 thousands off the surface, and that's not gonna happen unless you take it to a professional glass/mirror polisher ( if such a thing exists ).
Re: For sale pair of used fog lamps complete nice shape
I picked up a fog light cheap off Ebay but it's pitted pretty badly.
I thought about trying something like these diamond pads then use the ceium oxide

No joy.
A friend if mine ground a glass reflector for a telescope to a mirror finish, he used finer and finer grit. I guess diamond dust was used, I know it can be done.
