Personally i'd leave it as is "good survivor", 
if you start playing with it it will show and you'll end up masking it up and going all the way round just trying to blend it.

I have a 3M polishing kit at work for polishing faded/tarnished plastic headlamp lenses. It does a fantastic job on those but having tried it on seats it's noticeable due to the softness of the plastics (i guess it depends on how fussy you are but if you're considering resto you must be)

sometimes 'back scraping' with a Stanley blade does a half decent job of removing the high spots.

Good luck

The good thing is the rash is contained on the smooth section so you could carefully give it a tickle with wet and dry. You can go through the grades then find a plastic polish or flame polishing can give great results.... If you are used to doing it and it's the right type of plastic. Personally I thinks it makes a good candidate for a survivor build but certainly restorable if you want to go that route.
