I hear nail polish remover works on it. Just borrow some from your wife/girlfriend.

I believe you can buy a blank version.

I wet sanded mine off. I forgot the grade, but it was the finest grade I could find. Then I polished up the plastic with toothpaste. Looks good.

Wet-sand with 600, then move on up to 1200-2000 grit.
Then polish using some type of polishing compound.
