Fine scratches in plastic 'chrome' - how to fix?

My new ride has a chromed plastic grill insert, and the previous owner appears to have cleaned it with scotchbrite pads. :down As a result, the chrome is showing many fine scratches. I doubt chrome polish will work as this is not actual chrome. Should I try a light polish or glaze? ScratchX? Any thoughts or suggestions?



Thanks in advance.

IME nothing will really fix that problem except having it re-"plated" or just replacing it. Sometimes multiple applications of your LSP (Last Step Product, i.e., "wax" or sealant) will make it a little less obvious.



There's no way to abrasively polish out damage, so I wouldn't try the Scratch-X. IMO something like that's more likely to make things worse instead of better.
