Hi
I have annoying fine scratches along the bottom of my cluster screen from previous owner.
Any of you guys have a solution to getting rid of them as they bug me and make it look scruffy.
Thanks
Tee

Re: Cluster scratches
Tape up the trim around it before attempting anything as the polish residue is a pain to get out of the dash plastics. I've recently been polishing a MK6 Golf cluster and it took a bit of work - required quite a few passes with polish to remove deep scratches. Its easier if you can take the cluster out of the dash. I used a combination of things, but the one that made it easier was a Rupes Bigfoot Nano mini polisher and some of their cutting compound on the coarse pad. Megs PlastX is pretty good but needs quite a bit of elbow grease. You can also use metal polish as its an abrasive. I've seen people restore headlights using things like autosol and certain brands of toothpaste!

Re: Cluster scratches

Thanks for your input i actually thought using a fine abrasive would have make the clear perspex clouded.
Now i know its tried and tested i wont worry about making it worse.
Excellent advice from yourself's
