Has anyone got any favourite hints/techniques for smartening up a

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.

Well do NOT use acetone (as in nail varnish remover). I made that mistake.
Fortunately it was on an inconspicuous part of the nice pink lid of my
PT Too. Phew!
