    It may be easier to remove it and purchase a new one like this: nonfinite electronics I was in a similar situation and they're as authentic as you're going to get. (a lot on ebay don't have the 'dot matrix' print)

    You can buy Novus plastic polish and give that a shot. It comes in different levels of abrasion, with no. 3 being the harshest. I would recommend getting a set of #1-3 and starting at #2 and only going to #3 if needed.

    Also if you have some laying around the garage somewhere, some decent automotive wax works pretty well. If it's aggresive enough you can buff out the scratches.
