Removing Scratches from Gauge Cluster?
Hey guys, has anyone ever been successful in some form in removing those pesky plastic scratches on the gauges.
Here is an example of what I mean...this picture is obviously not my truck but some stock image on google, but you get the idea.
Thanks for any ideas of suggestions...

Mite help... those scratches are from wiping the plastic with the wrong cloth dry and dirty...hate that.

I actually used Blue Magic metal polish and a soft MF towel and had decent results getting rid of the owner-caused scratches. One thing to keep in mind, there are factory 'swirls' in the lens that are supposed to be there and that will never come out because it's part of the lens (you can only see them in certain lighting). They have a uniform pattern.

Yes, a mild polish should work, at least get you some better clarity. Meguiars M205, Meguiars ultimate compound, or even blue magic and nu finish as stated above could work for you, all can be found at just about any box store.
dab some on a microfiber towel and work in with slight pressure, Not too aggressive as it is a delicate plastic.
