I have used a "500" sanding paper. I have only used the red bottle of plastic polish. I have buffed for a half an hour i think. I have even tried with a small electric cotton buffing wheel, but with no results....
Do I have to buy some extra polish products to get it shiny...? I have seen you also are using aluminum polish, bufferwheel and a powerball? Maybe I should try that to. I really dont think i can get any better results by hand...
I have just bought a real pro polishing machine for my car. Maybe it can be usefull in this case..

the only part i had some trouble with was the coin tray, i got it shined up, but it took a lot more work than the other parts. i would take a pic of my ash try, but i have gotten a metal dash kit and it's been covered by that. later.

it has a higher media than the plastic polish and will cut and smooth faster. then chase it with:
i would also use a type of buffing wheel with the metal polish on badly oxidized plastic, but most things you can do by hand. these are some wheels:
later.
i'm also using all of them.

BTW I know it's off topic, but have you seen the mini powerball?
I bet it works great on round foglights and the inside of rims.
