How do you polish plastic?

[OneLethal87GN]

I seen it once on one of the car shows that comes on every Sunday but I forgot what the guy used. The taillight covers I have need some attention. They have some blemishes and a few spots that have badly faded from something rubbing against them. What do you use to polish the blemishes out and make em look like new again?

Polishing compound works. Car wax works. Just need something with a little abrasive in it. Just appy to a rag and go back and forth with some pressure.

Zaino makes both a glass and plastic polish that are good, but anything with a mild abrasive will work. Try Meguiar's paint cleaner, that works too.

I like to use Brasso and then top coat with a good wax

3M makes a plastic polish, you can get it at auto parts stores like Napa etc. I have used it and it works great. Its a grey bottle about 4 or 5 oz I think.
