There is a thread about this somewhere here. Try a search. I use Novus 1 & 2 plastic cleaner and polish. Works incredibly well.

It might... but Novus is probably the way to go.

If you don't have deep scratches and want to save some money, try Brasso first. Yes, Brasso. You may even have some already.
That's what I used on the cover of my thrift store Technics SL-1500 MkII. It worked like a charm. If you don't get the hoped for result, you can then try the more expensive headlight restoration kits.

Thanks for the comebacks I've been away for a few days & in the meantime a neighbor had some of what I believe one of you suggested, Meguiare's Plastix polish & it did a good job (but didn't get the deeper scratches). I suspect the Novus would do better with different grades of abrasives,but I'm happy it looks much newer& free is a good price (he said it cost about $3-4 for a 10 oz. bottle)

Glad the Plastix workd out. I have never tried the Novus but it seems to be the way to go for a real restoration jon. For minor swirls or just brightening up an older piece without seeking perfection the Meguiare's is great and then you have it for when your headlights need a going over!

Nu Finish Scratch Remover, and as mentioned, Meguiare's Plastic polish, are very good for haze and very light swirls and scratches. For more pronounce scratches, try 800, 1200, and 1800 or 2000grits sand paper. Start with the 800 working your way up to 1800 (2000) grit. Sand paper is to be used with water only, never dry, make sure your surface is always wet.
