    Ive used a buffer and rubbing compound on similar problems as this. you have to use a lot of compound, run it at a low speed, and BE CAREFUL to not melt the plastic and smear it. luckily, if you do that, you can let it cool, sand the area and re-buff and all is well.

    polishing the plastic by hand is safer, but anyone competent with a buffer should adapt to plastic easily. just try it on some TOALLY JUNK parts first
