Polishing compound is the best thing to use on dull lenses in my experience.

or Brasso of all things. Works remarkably well. Better than toothpaste in my experience, but yea JohnBoy26's suggestion of proper polishing compound is probably the best bet. I found Brasso to the least harsh of the various things I've tried so if the dulling isn't too bad...

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
