Default Scratches on Plastic

Not sure how it got so scratched up quickly, but yeah... the instrument panel is starting to look pretty bad..

Was wondering if people had any suggestions.. I was going to try something like Plexus or a Meguiars two-step plastic cleaner but wasn't sure.

i used plast-x and a Mother's mini powerball on my aftermarket gauges and it worked out well. The scratches came off with ease.

I am not sure if its an option for you guys, but that sells for about $40. I would contact Hardtop guy and inquire.

Yes, the plastic piece.

I do not like Majestic, but its the only one that had the price posted. Call Jeff and check his price. To me it beats trying to fix your as it might take hours.

Not sure on how difficult it is to swap it though.
