Question Polishing the plastic louvers on the spoiler

The louvers are flimsy and won't take much pressure, but I need to do some minor correction. Any recommendation on polish or technique?

I may just fall back on glaze and some wax with filling ability.

Good idea there, like maybe a stack of microfiber towels. Slow work but who cares, right?

I've been reading a bit on polishing plastic, and other than being careful of the heat and distortion, it's the same as metal so far as polish. What I thought were dedicated plastic polishing products are actually moreso for clear plastic, headlights, gauges, etc. I'll need more power than that.
