    Would menzerna 85rd remove scratches from plastic?

    I was asked if I could remove a scratch from cluster and dont have any plastic polish with me. The scratches are really hard to see...

    The less abrasive polishes i have are 85rd,m205 and and PO106

    thanks!

    Mr Clean magic eraser works for scuffs on the plastic parts on doors, so it may work for the cluster. Test in a small spot of course

    if its on plastic definitely try magic eraser on the plastic. I bought some but haven't used it yet. People say to scrub very gently with it. Keep that in mind.

    I wouldn't use a magic eraser on an instrument cluster. I've found that 303 really works well to dress transparent plastics..

    Are we not talking about removing scratches and not dressing it?

    Im talking about these scratches but very very hard to see. They are only visible when the sun hits directly the cluster




    Thanks

    Thanks
    I have used Mothers Plastic Polish and Meg's PlastX on one panel section. Meg's was more aggressive and Mothers finished better. I had practiced on some plastic CD cases.

    I ended up taking it out and working on a bench to give more work room so polish did not get on places it should not.

    I discovered some scratches were on the backside (factory issue) and just more obvious when the sun hits them the wrong way (poor design).

    303 helps to cover up fine scratches like OP is referring to in my experience.

    I think a Magic Eraser would be too aggressive. Just my guess but I think Meguiar's PlastX would work better.
