Get a rag - wipe it over your headlight - youll see its grey in colouyr - basically just a real ruiner!

You get what u pay for.
You shouldnt use cutting compounds on plastic mate, but yeah T-cut is too abrasive

So i take it using touch up paint is not a good idea? Thing is on my polo being 1997 it has chips and things that can be quite big. The touch up paint works well for me, but on my old punto which was metallic paint it was horendous and very noticeable. So for me personally touch up paint is good for non metallic cars with chips too big to polish out

with a scratch that will polish out if it is on the limit of being able to polish i use 2000 grade wet and dry then a good polish with a slight cut to polish the sand paper scratches out then a good polish on top of that to give protection

Use O2 polish for light scratches and then Autoglym radiant wax on top. If scratches are really bad use O3 then O2 and Autoglym radiant wax on top. Be careful, O3 is very gritty
