This come with no warranty, but household metal (yes metal!) polish works
very well on soft plastic. In the UK we have a brand called "Brasso" which
is in a liquid form (consistency of pouring cream) and you simply put some
on a soft cloth and use gentle circular motion around the scratch and
massage it away. Work on Watch glass too ...

If you rub the liquid between your fingers it has no 'grittiness' that you
can perceive, so if you try it with whatever you have - do that finger test
first! It's obviously a very fine abrasive in a liquid suspension.

Never done it on a cube, but have on perspex and similar 'soft' plastics
that are translucent to great effect.
