    Any way to polish plastic?

    So I got the I35 grill in the mail today, and the finish on it is scratched and pitted from normal wear. Is there anything I can use on it to polish it up and make it look better? It's painted plastic.

    well think of it as polishing paint not plastic in this case. so buff it with a fine polishing compound
