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.

Here you go...
I know how to link a previous post, but how do you change the title wording?
Thanks

The real solution is not to let your dust cover get all smudgy and yucky in the first place. Mine is a large, fairly heavy, separate cover beautifully made by Gingko. I handle it with kid gloves. Well, white cotton gloves anyway. If I do it right, I will only have to dust it off once in awhile.
I have tried Novus, works okay. I recently polished the headlight lenses on my car with a Turtlewax product, works very good, I would not hesitate to try it on a dustcover.

vintage plastic souvenir snowdomes (also used it to restore the rear turning signal light gels on my old Citroen).
Their current version has "poly" in the name (for use on fiberglass boat hulls).
I simply polished by hand with 100% cotten T-shirt material and then finished up by washing the domes/gels with Dawn dish soap and warm water.
The guy that turned me onto it used a dremel with various polishing wheels, but I found a little (very little) elbow grease applied to a clean T-Shirt rag worked just fine.
You might also look into Griot's plastic polish, which has a good rep.
Novis plastic polish.

If you're seeking to remove scratches, Novus is the way to go,

Just ordered some from Amazon, will be here Tuesday.
Going to clean up my RP6 and put it on the trader. I don't really need two turntables.
