    I`m looking for suggestions as to what to use for cleaning and protecting the clear screen over the instrument gauge cluster. It seems almost inevitable that fine scratches will show up, no matter what I do. I`d be psyched to be able to polish them out, but I don`t think that`s even possible with that piece of plastic. I`ve typically used a damp MF, but there must be something out there that serves this purpose better. Plexus comes to mind, and so does 1Z Plastik-Reiniger. Are there any others...better options?



    Thanks - Jason

    Goto product: Plexus for clean to dusty gauges.



    If medium to heavy dirt then Meguiars 2 step: #17 Plastic cleaner and #10 Plastic Polish have served me well. #17 is pretty good at removing a decent amount of grime safely. just reminder to constant be using a clean side of your mf. Its very easy to stratch it.



    There is also #18 as a general cleaner but I haven`t personally used it.



    I`ve found recently though, that ONR works well too!

    What Paco said x2. I have had great results with the Megs products for the gauges and also for the displays on my stereos.

    I use Sparkle Glass Cleaner as it does not contain alcohol or ammonia and won`t etch Plexiglass.

    Megs Interior Detailer simple but effective. Don`t go cheap on the MF here, that plastic always seems to be some of the softest. Just ask my wife after she used a Klenex!!!!
