Use plastic headlight polish (Meguiar's PlastX, 3M polish, etc...) as it's designed for plastic. Brasso is strictly for stuff like medals and trophies.

UPDATE!:
I now have a new job!
I walked into the local Chinese restaurant on Monday for lunch and asked if they might have any positions open (It's a local chain and not your traditional Chinese place).

Twenty minutes later as I finished eating I got tapped on the back by the owner and he offered me a position managing his Frozen Yogurt shop next door as shift leader! I started yesterday and so far it's worlds and away better than GameStop. Starting at 25 hours a week and moving up for 30 plus-ish if all goes well.

Genesis - Nomad - SegaCD - GameGear - Sega Saturn - Dreamcast - NES - SNES - N64 - Gamecube - Wii - Playstation - PSone & LCD - PS2 - PS3 - Xbox - 3DS

Smile - I found a long forgotten pair of shorts this morning. Inside the right pocket was a faded laundered receipt from 2008 AND a crumbled $10 bill with three ones! Score!

Ticked - Irene put a stop to my travel plans this weekend. :x

Smile: Got a new job this month that I think I am going to like.

Sad: My Phantasy Star 4 battery has stopped working. Gotta try to replace but I'm nervous I will mess it up for good.

I read the guide in the forums. I just need to gather my courage or find a friend that can do it for me. :)

Just upset I can't play it yet.

It's really easy. As long as you have patience, you should be good. And think about it this way, even if you fuck up something, it's STILL gonna be fixable.
