Start off with jif, then I use a plastic polish from meguires to finish off. If you're using a lambs wool pad on a drill, be careful as you can build up a fair bit of heat quickly and melt the tank.

Does this method work on white plastic tanks?

It will do you might not get rid of staining but you will be able to polish it the same as a tank of any colour, thanks Michael.
