I was looking for a replacement shield for my full face helmet and can't fine any so... Have any of you used plastic polish top remove small nicks and scratches on your visor? Dose it work ? and what do you recommend?

No need for special plastic polish.  Just regular old car polish works great for small scratches or haziness.  I use it all the time on my face shields and the plexiglass windshield, too.

If the scratches are deeper, I had some turn signal lenses that were pretty bad in the sense they looked like they had kissed some pavement at one time. Before trying to locate new lenses, figured I would try to remove the scratches.. had little to lose. I started with about 400 grit paper and worked my way up to 1500 grit, then used some rubbing compound. Looked so good, I kept them. Since this is a face shield, if you try it, try it on some out of the way spot first.

Most face shields have a hard outer coating which if you use a rubbing compound to remove scratches will then expose the soft core.
Also be carefull that you dont leave it with lits more tinny scratches - these will give a nice starbusrt filter effect in the rain at night, good for pepping up your photo's but no so good for riding in.
