Plastics are pretty soft and can go hazy if too aggressive a polish is used so a specific plastic polish as above should be good or for a conventional polish, something quite mild will work. 3M Scratch Remover is commonly available and cheap. Avoid Meguiar's Ultimate Compound as it'll be too aggressive and T-Cut: well it should be banned from sale generally so avoid!

Toothpaste, especially of the whitening variety ;-)

Try on a small inconspicuous area first, of course...

Indeed - my Sky was not performing very well for a while (a tree grew apparently, but dish now moved) so I can get back to F1 gatherings :thumbsup
