yea but 1500 paper is less gritty than a nail file. i figured if i just got the surface marks out and then buffed it with wax it might come out glossy.

depends on the scratch depth, the deeper the damage, the smaller #/grittier paper you want to start with, then work your way up to the most commonly available 1500grit silicon carbide paper. And finally buffing it with brasso, the liquid metal polish using a soft cotton like a old shirt- make sure everything is grit free.
There is a UV protection coating over the clear polycarbonate....removing that might cause premature yellowing/hazing.......
