Instrument cluster scratches

[Drouse]

I was out driving today and when I parked I noticed that there were some scratches on my instrument cluster lens/glass (2 patches the size of a coin). The sun was out finally so I just noticed them. I'm no longer near where I originally purchased the truck. I'm going to call the dealer and see what I can do. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a product that I could use, just in case the dealer wont help. Would a glass polish work to remove these?

My guess the dealer will tell you to fly a kite
Sucks

Micromesh I use it to finish acrylic pens. It is also used to remove scratches from airplane canopies.

Thanks for the reply would you use the Kit for headlights?

Talk to the dealer first is the truck is brand new. If that doesn't work I would price out a lens for the cluster. They can be replaced and I don't think they are very expensive.

This stuff works good, if they are smaller surface scratches:

Meguiars Plastx Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish - clean & polish all clear plastic panels and convertible top windows.

I have not tried the kit. I use this stuff on hand made pens. I do make one that is clear acrylic and when I go through the grits there are no scratches left. It is a LONG process with a lot of water. I generally soak all the pads in a bucket and work them until they dry out, then move to the next grit. I know this stuff was designed for airplane canopies so it should work.

I've used this stuff a few times. Works, but takes a lot of elbow grease if you don't have a mechanical buffer...

And I need to buy some more myself because I noticed a large scratch in my instrument panel cover as well....

Tried this stuff and yes it really works, but may need some elbow grease. A polisher can be very handy.
