Best Way to Clean Instrument Panel Without Scratching?

[jholcomb]

Every time I get a new vehicle I get bummed at how the clear plastic covering the tach and speedometer gradually gets scratched over time...any ideas on how to clean this plastic and avioding this scratching?

Find some of the best microfiber towels to wipe it clean from dust. Or you could just use compressed air and a vac combo and blow off the dust without ever touching it. But if there are fingerprints, a microfiber towel is the best way.

i was thinking about using rubbingcompound or polish. Wasn't sure if it would work.

I used a feather type duster first then use a normal interior detail product like "Mothers Interior protection" to clean it off.

I use a clean Microfiber cloth, with water. I wipe down all the interior pieces this way.
Intrument panel first.

If it does get scratched, you can use Meguiar's PlastX to remove them.

A good microfiber will be the best practical way, just have one in the glove compartment just for that specific use..

i have a detail brush if you don't have a detail brush with very fine hairs i also use to use a fine tipped (long horse hairs) art brush they don't leave any marks and they come in various sizes so that way u don't have to sit there cleaning forever

I use a swiffer cloth for mine. It's also great for computer screens, TV screens, etc.
