I decided to try AIO on my dash clear plastic. It polished it good but when the sun hits the clear you can see the scratches. ANy product out there that will remove clear plastic scratches?

One thing you might wish to try is Micro Mesh.
This product was originally designed to remove scratches
from aircraft windows. I found it when building model cars
and it does work miracles!
Here is a link to the site

Good luck! :)

Plexus is more of a maintenance type product, it will not remove scratches.

Mezzeta, I used to build model cars. I think I have a micro mesh kit. Its got the soft type sanding material with a polish and a foam sanding block

So could you follow up Plexus after Megs #17?

Blackmirror - Yes, that is where I first learned of the product!
It was really amazing to me. I had never seen sandpaper ( cloth?)
with a grit of 12,000 before. Using there instructions a being careful, I was able to clear up scratches on model cars and clear
plastic on my dash.
My kit had several levels of grit, a rubber sanding block and I think
some type of liquid polish. It`s been a while since I used it.

Plexus and MicroFiber towel. Great for instrument gauge plastic and tailights/headlights/markers.

a local plexiglass and lexan dealer should carry it. i don`t know if a auto detail supply would. it makes sense that they should too. you can buy online from many sources. just do a search for plexus polish like this
