Can you buff/wet sand plastic?
I have looked at a couple FD's for sale and with some of them the rear spoiler and mirrors were faded/oxidized. Is this something that could be easily buffed out? I know you can buff and wet sand the body of the car, but I am not sure about these plastic parts. Thanks in advance for any help.

When polishing clear plastic use alcohol as the lubricant/coolant. Water doesn't cool well enough. Isopropyl or Methal hydrate are fine, elthyl alcohol is best because it is least toxic.
