Dude i would test it on an old model before you go and do it on the real thing. That sucks.

what method are you using? damp cloth? dry cloth? rubbing hard? rubbing lightly?

I've tried it before using a wet cloth, and colgate gel toothpaste. I had to rub really hard. I assume the people that have done it used some older style paste toothpaste. The effort required isn't worth it, you're better off with automotive polish or tamiya rubbing compound.
