I would not polish it with anything,if you hit the glass you will have a problem and if you find something to polish it and the function of the i.r. is gone you will be sorry for a long time.. leave it this way ??
Unless you take the reader apart and remove the front shell. Then you have perfectly easy access to buff away the high-gloss finish to that piece.

I still don't think that piece is necessary though or does anything specific with the IR beams. I think it was just added as a fancy "keep the dust bunnies and food crumbs out" for those who eat over their reader like a dish.
