I am hearing that this Merlin's LCD Magic works? Maybe give it a shot, I am looking to try it soon.
Polishing plastic requires a series of abrasives and a polish that will not dry out the plastic. I have repaired a variety of plastic items over the years, using many different products designed for, and not specifically designed for, removing scratches. This would include low abrasive toothpaste to professional repair products for specific applications.
You need a series of abrasives from course to light, to wear down a scratch, step by step, to a smooth finish. Professional systems may use five different grades of abrasives consisting of different hardnesses and shapes (sharp to smooth).
Regardless of product used, the key is to use multiple abrasives to gradually bring the plastic back to a polished surface. You might also try using a polish on top of that, to give it a final shine!
I looked up LCD Magic at the Merlin site. It may be a wonderful product, but I would think that your best option (from them) would be the Scratch Pro system, since it is a 5 stage repair kit.
Either way - look for a system that is more than one step.

YesPlain White ToothpasteThis method will only work with plain white toothpaste, not gel, or toothpaste that has ingredients in it like Scope for example. Squirt the toothpaste out and carefully cover the scratched area on the plastic item. Let it sit for a 2 or 3 minutes and then using a clean cloth wipe off the toothpaste. This should get rid of the scratches on the plastic item, but, as with the Pledge method, if it does not, go through the process a second time.
