I did notice that the insert got dirtier faster and easier and lost the shine after using acetone. Ended up replacing the insert with a new one and no longer use acetone. Black streak remover or bleach white only now.

I've used fine sandpaper and wetsanded it. I discovered this by trying to remove deep scrapes and chew marks from contact with pilings and big waves

Soft scrub on one of those scrubbing type of sponges works great.
