I've been experimenting on old Nokia phones with a dremel to try and master plastic polishing. Not that I polish plastics all day, but it's just fun to do.

My problem is getting light scratches out like swirls and spidering. The steps I take go in the order of:

1. Wet sanding (hehe on cell phone screens) with 2000 grit.
2. Applying plastic polish and letting lightly dry.
3. Using dremel with a standard dremel kit polishing tip.

I've tried using slow and the next notch up speeds on the dremel and that didn't change much. I've also tried Zaino plastic polish and the stuff that comes with the Dremel kit but both give similar results. Any tips?

What about trying some Meguiars Mirror Glaze #9 or 3M Fine Cut?

I have a bottle of 3M™ Plastic Polish 39010, and I used it a while ago to get rid of small pits and fine scratches on my '01 ES headlights. The fog lights are not as easy to polish as the headlamps, but still works. With plenty of elbow grease, it does an excellent job and makes a big difference in appearance of the headlights, especially at nighttime I highly recommend the plastic polish by 3M.

I second the 3M. You have seen the results. There are 2 compounds. One is polishing and another is cleaning. You need to use one after the other.
