Hairline scratches on instrument cluster

Postby eugenek » Sat Nov 07, 2009 7:40 am

So...after picking up my RRS from service yesterday I was driving on a sunny Saturday morning and suddenly realized that smart, caring and diligent professionals at the dealership (Land Rover of Manhattan) must have wiped my instrument cluster with a dirty tower or something of that nature, as I now have a lot of hairline scratches on the plastic. I won't even waste my time talking to them - in the past 3 years they have done minor damage to the truck every single time I brought it in for service (dents, scratches, valuables stolen, etc). I never notice these things because I always pick it up after 7PM after a 10-12 hour day at work, so its hard to notice these little things right away.

Is there anything I can use to polish those scratches out? Its incredibly annoying to have to look at them when driving in sunny weather.

Convertible top window polish. Works great on tail lights as well.

Or if you're really cheap like me and the scratches are not deep, use a very soft 100% cotton cloth and some Pledge furniture polish. I like the lemon-scented one.

Things like this are why my service invoice is always marked "NO WASH/DETAIL". :cry:

Pledge is great for the rear headrest slides!
