yeah, basic route is something like 400 grit, 800 grit, SOS pads, brasso.

I saw in an old old science and mechanics handbook that "rouge" lipstick could be used for reshining dull plastics, dunno if that would be similar to jewelers rouge with a fine iron oxide in or something, and if they still make lipstick like that or not.

Hmmm on a brief experiment, apparently not, tried rubbing some of the wife's on a scratched up key fob and it didn't seem to do a damn thing.

Toothpaste is a fine abrasive, like Brasso. Look up info on repairing scratched CDs for other fine abrasive suggestions.

I'm pretty sure that Rouge is not lipstick, it's supposed to go on cheeks or something.

pretty much any fine powder of a hard material will do lol. to brighten up dull plastics you can use paint cleaner that says it removes oxidation, hence what usually clouds up plastics too.
