Title: Small scratch removal on instument cluster
Post by: eug2huge on 24 April 2017, 11:24

Hi Guys,

As with all the cars I've owned the previous owner has used sandpaper to clean the instrument cluster!

Can anyone recommend any good products/methods for safely removing the small scratches please?

Thanks

I haven't used this myself but it's been recommended. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quixx-Xerapol-Acrylic-Scratch-sandpaper/dp/B00CU6UTNA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1472145965&sr=8-4&keywords=quixx+repair (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quixx-Xerapol-Acrylic-Scratch-sandpaper/dp/B00CU6UTNA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1472145965&sr=8-4&keywords=quixx+repair)

I know some have tried Meguiars PlastX on the dash binnacles  Not sure what results they got though.

Used the Quixx Acryl yesterday on the instrument cluster. Was very nervous at first but did a great job of getting the scratches out. Hightly recommend.
