What would you use to polish this plastic?

Looking at this plastic piece on the grill and it sure is ugly... Not sure what they were thinking but it just looks sort of cheap and took a dive rather quik.





What do you think would work best to polish it up?

Without seeing/feeling the material in person its hard to say but first thing I would do is clean it thoroughly with an apc or dedicated trim cleaner.......to me doesn't look like has a clear coated finish so I don't think it would polish out.....

Yea it doesn't seem to be clearcoated, just thin hard plastic. I'll try a light polish 1st, but if that doesn't work maybe I'll treat it like I would a headlight?

It would be cool if I had some of the spray coating left that came in this pack. I'm thinking it might work.

I think PlastX would clean that up.

I'd say go ahead and use any paint polish you have on hand, then wax, seal, etc whatever you choose.

I figure nothing you can do will make them look any worse than they already do.

Plastic, it's what IMO the sole product that has basically turned all more modern vehicles into utter crap. Only benefit I see, plastic doesn't rust.

I've used Ultimate Polish with good results, but gently, gently with cotton cloth like a T-shirt.
