1000 way to course for clear plastic, you would melt the plastic before you could polish out the 1000 grit scratches....i think paint thinner or nail polish will do fine on the plastic...most nail polish remover is in a plastic bottle...try in hard to see area first...i think denatured alcohol is the stuff that will melt plastic

I would try a plastic razor blade and some detail spray first. Then get more aggressive as you go
