Default Tiny scratches on instrument cluster lens -- any tips on getting rid of them?

I seem to have some tiny scratches on right lens for the instrument cluster pod (right in front of the odo). At night -- they show as the lighted odo shines through. Kind of annoying.

Any tips on buffing them out?

Try some plastic polish.

I've seen some good results with plexus. It won't take the scratches out but it'll lessen their appearance. I'd try it on a small surface first though, as I've heard that gauge plastic is very very fragile.

Good luck

I may just see if the dealer is willing to replace it (or try to buff the scratches out -- and let them take the risk).

Regular wax will do. I've tried NU-Finish in the past and it works out great.
