Does anyone know any good tricks to make a sanded surface look smooth? Or return some gleam back to the surface?

Sanding it with increasingly fine grits of sandpaper. Start with 150, and sand it over with each grit down to 600.

Sometimes a nail buffer or two is more readily available than ultra fine sandpaper. Consider using the nail buffer wet to keep it's surface from being clogged up with plastic.

A nail buffer is often the same idea as different grades of sand paper. It starts with a "corse" grade and goes up to ultra fine.
