I have not tried this on computer plastic, but it works great on bakelite radio cases. I use automotive rubbing compound.

ive had good luck using a cleaner found in automotive parts stores that is used for cleaning headlights made from plastic.

I just posted a separate subject on an iMac G3...

Anyway, I'd like to clean it up. I think some of the scuffs and scratches are a little too deep for basic polishing using a product called 'Ice Cream' by Radtech. That being said, does anybody know what I could use to buff out scratches and scuffs on this plastic? What's the best technique? I was thinking along the lines of very fine grit sandpaper, possibly steel wool, etc... I don't know where to start exactly, though. I DON'T want to scratch up the case. It's a very old and very beat-up iMac that I would be proud to restore to 'like new' condition, if possible.

Anybody with experience, I need your two cents.

Thanks!
