Scratched dash/screen

[boro]

So I have somehow managed to get a scratch on the dash/console screen at one side.

Has anyone had any success in removing them?

Or is the dash screen removable/replaceable?

Its luckily not across the information area but because the border is black it really stands out.....

Cheers

Hi Kev

You could try polishing the plastic with a good quality polish.Meguiars have a kit for polishing polycarbonate headlight lenses.You can get this at Supercheap Auto or Repco.

You could also apply a piece of Altrex headlight skin to the dash,this should mask the scratch as the adhesive fills it.You have to apply this using the water film method to keep air out.

I agree, Product not found is the best solution, I have tried it many times and it always worked. Product not found FTW.

OK thanks Paul I'll try and get some at the weekend and do a test area. My one concern is the mirror finish on the dash, not sure I'm going to get the level if finish.

Well let you know how I get on.

So after lots of reading and before I went out and bought the proper stuff I thought I'd give the toothpaste method a try on the windshield.

Well to my surprise it brought it up very well (gently and tiny amounts). So just spent 1 min on the screen only in the affected area and wow worked a treat, I perhaps might not have tried if it was on the LED side but got to say worked for me.
Just removed it with a damp cloth and now all good.
