Simichrome is good

As is Flitz.

However, I tried both on a broken 'practice frame' made of mostly dark green acetate mixed with a few similar colors, and each left a visible pattern of very fine scratches.

I also tried Flitz on a shiny black plastic base part from TV set and got the same result.

Acetate is fairly soft, while the TV part was pretty hard, so I think the scratches probably show up better on dark work pieces.

ScratchX covered the scratch pattern on the practice eyeglass part, and I just recently used it on another frame, as noted above in my original post.

I have not tried it on the TV part.

On a related note, I think Flitz and Simichrome are more abrasive than they used to be, but that's just my impression. I don't have old and new to compare, so I can only rely on memory, and you know what they say about that: 'It's the first to go' :-D

HTH :-)
