After seeing these posts, I went to the hardware store and popped $3.69 on a can
of Brasso to test it on one of my hated UFO panels. It really does work--it's
both a mild abrasive and a polymer-solvent, so it takes scratches out likely by
a combination of the two (that's also why toothed pieces are buffed smooth).
The UFO printing is nearly gone, and the lustre is still there! I may do this
with a *lot* of the pieces, if I have a free 40 or 50 hours. :)
best,
Lindsay
