Cerium oxide WILL NOT WORK to polish plastic.

If you have a optical laboratory near you (one that grinds and polishes
plastic lenses for eyeglasses) ask to buy a pound or so of plastic lens
polish. It is basically tin oxide and aluminum oxide mixed together. It is
super fine material, finer than cerium oxide.

Cerium oxide is glass polish. Tin/Aluminum oxide is plastic polish. Very

big
difference in surface finish.
