Removing super fine scratches in clear speedo/ tach lens.

I have super fine scratches /marks in the clear lens. How do you get them polished out. What brand of polish is SAFE!!!! If done wrong they will be permanent HELP.!!

Honestly i believe those tiny scratches on the gauges and radio screens are inevitable, no matter how often and meticulously you detail your car. As for polishing them, i really have no clue what would be good. Its also a really small area so itd take a drill with a tiny pad to really get in and actually polish.

Good luck with your search!

Meguiar's PlastX should work well with a clean microfiber towel.

It should, it will just take some elbow grease.

As in a microfiber towel without PlastX? No... the towel by itself isn't going to help. The towel is just what you're using to work the product into the clear plastic in light circular motions.
