Rubbing compound will just remove the shine from the plastic and make it look worse. And I have tried that Plastic Renew and I think it is crap to. Unfortunately, the scratches are there for good.

The best thing that I have found is Turtle Wax Formula 2001 spray. This will not remove the scratches, but it does help hide them and really shines up your plastic. It will also protect your plastic against the effects of the sun and some what help prevent knew scratches.

Hope this helps.

Yup.....just barely...more like soften as opposed to melting it.
