    The good thing about using toothpaste or cutting compound is you know its actually removing the scratches in the plastic.

    Using some polishes/waxes will just fill the scratches rather than remove them.
    This may look ok for a while, but later the wax will dissapear and the scratches will become visable again.
    Only time will tell. But if I cut it back and it all gets weathered again then each time I have less plastic there. Give it enough wax to protect it good after a nice cut ya think?
