Has anyone got any favourite hints/techniques for smartening up a
rather tatty turntable lid? I'm a bit worried about setting to with
the Brasso and just making it worse.

Never tried it myself, but I once knew someone who would polish perspex with
stuff like Brasso. ISTR he said that it had to be worked slowly with
ever-finer compounds until it became clear and glass-like.

Depending on the condition, an alternative might be to spray it with
something like clear acrylic lacquer. Need to make sure the surface is
completely clean and grease-free, but I have no idea what solvent will
reliably clean it without leaving a residue or damaging the material.
Methylated spirit is a good degreaser but might not be suitable - it's used
to loosen dried acrylic paint from paint brushes.
