HI Guys,



Is there a method or product that is good for removing scratches from the transparent plastic panels on dash instrument clusters, stereo face plates, etc. ? You know the delicate stuff that scratches if you even breath on it? :angry



I'm installing an Apex'i S-AFC-II in my Z and the LCD screen is scratched all to s#%t, and I don't even know if *I* did that or it came like that out of the box... D'oh!



Thanks!
 
I would recommend Novus. They have a 3 step process. #1 is their cleaner #2 is more abrasive. You can get the whole kit for about $11.00.





I have used #1 and #2 on my rear tail lights with great success.



I use #1 all the time to maintain my plastic speedo lens cover.
 
Once you try the gentle polishes that Pats300zx recommends here, you might then step up to Mothers Plastic Polish and --if none of that works -- give Meguiar's PlastX a try. I've had success with PlastX when nothing else would touch my marring. But remember that you have to apply it for a long time and with a lot of elbow grease.
 
Second the rec for Novus. Has worked great on my motorcycle windscreen, various gauge covers, and some turn indicators that I shaved. Seems to be a little more effective than than the Meguiars stuff (which I also have and have used).
