Micro scratches on cluster

Post by Caddyluv »

So When I got my van I knew it was a site van so when I took everything off if was full of sand and grit. The cluster has been scratch since day 1 but it is now driving me crazy. Anyone know how to fix it.

I’ve only got 3m fast cut. To abrasive maybe.

Mine is the same. It drives me mental as well. It will be interesting to see what works. I had contemplated replacing mine but I'm not sure how much a new one is or how easy to fit.

I used Meguiars Scratch X (think that's what it's called). Worked really well on a deep scratch I had

You could just ask for a upgrade to your access and see for yourself.

I used the same product and it does require a lot of elbow grease and if I remember correctly the results weren't amazing. I ended up using a mini polisher (rupes nano) and their brand of polishes/pads and with the cluster out of the dash went to work on it going from heavy cutting through to refining. Took quite a long time but its possible to remove quite deep scratches.
