Micromesh abrasives. Expensive, but work very well on plastics. Easier
to achieve a good result with than polishes.

For a phone though, I'd probably just use wet Wet & Dry paper. 1200
grit is common enough, you can go finer if you go to a car refinishing
place. That's adequate for phone screens, if not for sunglasses.

mmmm actually tried some 1000 wet and dry and it made the overall
effect worse - i.e you could see less well through the "fog" of small
wet and dry scratches than just the original big scratches. However a
dollop of the recommneded Polywatch stuff did make the whole thing a
lot clearer. When looked at obliquely you can see what a mess has been
made of the facia, but to loo through it is certainly a lot lot better
than it was.

Thanks to all
