This really is a strange plastic, not like anything I have come across before. It appears to be some kind of polypropylene or similar soft waxy plastic, but it also has a very thin clear film all over the surface which is obviously part of the moulding. It is difficult to sand smooth because the plastic film keeps raising and tearing, exposing the crumbling plastic below. I have to keep smearing the surface with superglue to stabilise it. My finger is now coated with a stiff layer of glue.
I have also had a go at brightening up the aluminium on the knobs which was slightly corroded.
