Cleaning Polishing and waxing the Black grille & door pillers on Mk5 GTI

Slobo said:

Have a new 2006.5 GTI in Red and was wondering if the glossy black surround around the front grille and panels behind the door windows can be treated the same as the rest of the painted car with cleaning, polishing and sealant products (like Menzerna, Mothers, Meguiars, etc.).

Any tips for products and applicators/wipe-off cloths for these bits?

Back to the topic, it looks to me like these parts are polycarbonate. I already have some micro scratches in the uprights behind the door and it drives me crazy. They could've made them flat like the mirror mounts (the Rabbit's are flat also).

Anyway, has anybody used a polycarbonate scratch remover and polish/ cleaner like Novus on these parts? It's usually a three-part system (two if you don't need the deep scratch remover).
