Ill take pics and post them in a bit.

Right, there are lots of different types of plastic and they all behave different from different tools. Color of plastic also impact how much something shows nubs and alteration. For example, the black plastic parts of the Faiz kit are a softer plastic and you don't want to file it at all. You should be able to cut and sand down with 800 or higher grit sandpaper.

Clear plastic is more brittle than regular ABS plastic. To remove the scratch on clear plastic, you can sand it down with ultra find sandpaper, then use a ceramic polish and then buff it.

Or you can use plastic cement to "melt" the scratch away, depending on the severity of the scratch. Honestly, for an effect part I wouldn't worry too much about it unless its super obvious.
