Default plastic polish??
So I was adding the aluminum gage bezels and decided to wipe all the dust off the inside of the plastic cover for the gage pod....well of course in doing so, even with a micro fiber towel, managed to put a bunch of fine scratches in it. Anyone know of a good plastic polish to see if I can get some of these out??

Thanks

I used headlight polish on mine and it cleaned it up nicely.
