I was at Harbor Freight and saw "PlastX" clear plastic cleaner and polish removes cloudiness, yellowing, oxidation,and fine scratches. It is petroleum distillates, aluminum oxide.
Do you think this would work as a final polish?

I don't see how. Might make something shiny if there are petroleum distillates in it, but for polishing rocks.... I'd be doubtful.
Many of the online reviews I'm reading say it doesn't even do what it's sold to do - clean/polish headlights.

I suspect like any polish with oil substrates it would temporarily make scratches less conspicuous, but they would soon reappear as the polish dried/evaporated. Its the same strategy for temporarily reducing the visibility of scratches on your Motorcycle visor or head light covers. Temporary fix = not a real polish. Just thinking. Tom

My answer was going to be, NO.
Those things never have the concentration of polish necessary to do a good job on materials harder than plastics or paints.
