Fine Scratches...

[maximus017]

I just took some time to take my instrument panel out, in lieu of me getting my LEDs from superbrightleds... just to make sure that I understood how everything works....well when i pulled the cluster out, i noticed the plastic shield, that covers the gauges has some very fine scratches in it...(not sure how they got there, but there are there)...My question is can I use the same haze remover to take the fine scratches out???

Plastix or 3m Haze remover???

buffer with polishing compound might do the trick

polishing compound or rubbing compound???
What would be the difference, if you dont mind me asking?

both.

mine has scratches too...

I used scratchx from meguires and it works for me...just apply it on microfiber cloth and buff it out

only difference I can think of between rubbing and polishing compound is that polishing compound has much finer abrasives than rubbing compound

 

[Johnson]

rubbing compound is like sand paper and makes scratches
polishing compound takes out the scratches

Whatever route you take, especially if you use the polisher compound, wouldn't hurt to do a DIY on it for future reference.
