64-66 Heater box finish restoration

I glass beaded the paint/corrosion from the doors and did not protect the fiberglass case. The surface looks scuffed in a few places, any suggestions as to how I could restore the finish (nothing elaborate, I was thinking of rubbing some black shoe polish on some hidden area to test that. Maybe some 2000 grit sandpaper and some 3-in-1 oil?).
 
On the fiberglass portion, I cleaned mine with simple green and clear coated it.

You can see pics in my build thread.
 
After a lot of thinking and looking I came up with the idea of using black shoe polish. One coat makes a big difference but another coat or two really covers the scuffed fiberglass. Attached are the 'before' and 'after' pics. I am waiting on the new blower motor to complete the heater box resto. More pics to follow.
