Get any one of the kits that uses some kind of spinning foam or cloth wheel that attaches to a drill.

If you have a really bad cover you may want to get more aggressive and use wet sandpaper at 1000/2000/3000/4000 grit on a rubber block and them switch to the polish in the kit. Some kits come with sandpaper but check the grit because on a cover I would be nervous about using anything rougher than 1000.

Hand held drills can go too slow to be effective but if you use an electric drill make sure you have a variable speed drill because if you go too fast you can melt the plastic (acrylic) and totally ruin the cover. But don't let that scare you off. Common sense and basic caution will keep you out of trouble.
