Either 3M Perfect-It (designed for paint but works great on plastic) or Meguires plastic cleaner and polish (2 separate products).

Try toothepaste...as long as it isn't the gritty stuff.Believe it or not it works great .If you don't believe me,take a look at your watch,does it have scratches in it?Now go get some toothpaste from your bathroon and a soft rag and buff it with a small amount of toothpaste.See,told ya...

Makes a plastic buffing compound. I used it on an electric drill with a soft buff to do my tail light lenses......
