BTW, if you used a plastic specific polish, such as plastic-X, would you get better results than a paint polish like SIP?

SIP would do better. Plastic X does not have much abrasive in it IMO.
BTW- The pics look awesome!

Thee polishes I can comment on with regard to use on plastics:
Hi-Temp Heavy Cut/357- Fairly aggressive without causing issues IME.
1Z PP- I really like 1Z Paint Polish on plastics. Not aggressive enough for serious stuff, but it's still very good when used within it's capabilities and it'll finish out great almost all the time. No staining IME.
M205- I would *NOT* use M205 as once the oils dissipate (which will take a few days) things'll look very, very bad.
