Somewhere on here is another thread on this topic. The gist of it is this: The non-navigation radio display screen on the 2010+ is very delicate. It's extremely easy to scratch and trying to repair the scratch will only make it worse. The best thing a person can do is put a screen protector (like you would put on a cell phone screen) on it before it scratches. Like the day you buy the car. No one makes a screen protector that is pre-cut for this screen but you can buy one made for a laptop screen and cut it down yourself. InvisibleShield by Zagg was highly recommended.

Meguiars makes a couple different plastics cleaner/polishes. I have used this to polish out fine scratches in CDs and DVDs. http://meguiarsdirect.com/detail/MEG+M1008

We're referring to the standard radio display, not the Electronics Package touch screen. The touch screen should not scratch easily. In fact, I would advise against putting a screen protector on it. Most screen protectors are glossy which will probably make it difficult to see the screen.

Right. The screen on the Electronics Package stereo is a touch-screen. It's meant to be touched. It's the screen on the non-nav stereos that people are having problems with.

Radio Scratch removal
I have a 2011 Mustang gt and the dealer removed the protective cover off mine and left scratches on the radio face, I tried to buff it out and it made it 10 times worse. I ended up masking it off with masking tape and then used a dremel tool with dremel compound to buff out the whole radio face, then finished it off with mequiars plastx, looks like new again, thinking i might get a screen protector for an ipad and cut it to fit mine
