I am sure we have x-ed paths on either NMRA/FFW/Corral boards.......

I have some plastics on an 85 200x that need to be wetsanded and polished/renewed also. The guy I got it from hit the plastics with a DA sander and what looked to be 89 grit. I wet sanded one of the tank scoops with 400/800/1500/2000 and hit it with Mother plastc polish and a buffing pad on a drill..... Sand job came out fine and smooth but the plastic polish didn't bring the shine. I guess I still need to hit it with polishing compound. I dunno....not respondinf like Fox Mustang headlites do to polishing.
