Polishing center console???

ive been pondering the idea of polishing the glossy black plastic on the center console of my 2010 GLK for a couple of days now...

...like a polish and a final wax...(something along those lines)...but since its not paint (or I think its not), has anyone here done something like that?

I also have a Martin & Co. guitar polish spray that works great on mostly all painted surfaces, if this might work (for any of you guitar players out there)...

theres hardly any scratches... I would just like to bring back the luster of it and I don't want to try anything stupid like compounds or abrasives that will otherwise scratch the surface.

You can polish it. Done it a lot of times.Just make sure it is not too abrasive and only apply very small amount and do only a 2"x2" area each time. Tape the othe plastic parts before you do this as you don't want to rub the chemical on other surfaces.

A long time ago I had a 19' blue metalflake Checkmate boat that I'd usually give a quick wax job with Pledge. Worked fine but the lemon smell attracted bees.
