Another AWESOME plastic polish I've used for years is called Novus - I think you can get it at hardware stores, like Ace stores... there's a thicker paste version that has a fine grit to it and buffs out fine scratches, and there's a spray-on finisher that is a polish specifically for plastic use. When used with a good quality cotton rag (no synthetics!) this stuff works AMAZING.
I sold antiques in NYC for 6 years and used to use this stuff all the time on the plastics. It never let me down. Just don't press super hard, take your time and let the polish do the work. I bet using this after the fine grit sand paper would be perfect. --------------------  |
