 I think I will try some sort of plastic polish - apparently there are many -  rather than take sandpaper to it at this point.  There are some fine scratches in it all over the place, but nothing deep -  so I'm thinking the plastic polishes will work good enough.  The BRASSO I have is in the plastic bottle and seems to do very well at removing some surface oxidation, but doesn't seem to do much as far as a polish.    Thanks for all your responses.
