I've heard good things about Plastix for dustcovers, but have not used it.  Personally, I've used 3M's scratch remover and Quixx's acrylic scratch repair; they both made notable improvements.  With that being said, don't expect gouges and the like to disappear, but I was able to bring back much of the clarity and buff out most of the light scratches and glazing.

 

For metal parts, be careful for the lettering (if it's painted/printed on).  I've used Windex, Nevr Dull, soap and water, really just play it be ear on the finish of the metal and whether or not I think it is likely to get scratched or wash away the lettering.

 

Stickers are good, too.
