Removing scratches from Defi's
 

I have some little hairline scratches on a BRAND new defi I just installed (on the lense). the gauge came with them and I noticed them this morning when the sun hits the gauges.

how can I remove it? can I safely try sratch-x. I contacted the shop who sold me the gauge but i doubt they will write back and or do anything about it.

anyhow little blemishes to the glass will happen, how are you guys addressing the issue of keeping them looking nice. {thumbup}

thanks

Bump for a reply, I have them also and would like to know how to get rid of them. Peace.:usflag:

It's plastic, right? :)

Any good autobody supply store has plastic scratch remover.

i use this scratch repair kit for plastic and glass, i ordered it online and it comes with 3200 grit sand paper all the way up to 12,000 grit and some compound stuff, anti static compound and detergent......and it made my head unit look brand new...havnt had to do my gauges yet..... let me know if you want the part number..

yeah post it here

Meguairs makes a clear lense scratch repair paste called "PLastX" that you can pick up at your local parts store. I have used it extensively in doing speedo gauage cluster repair/overlays, this stuff is great. Check it out...here..

wow never thought of that..........im might have to jump on this.

On my Prosport gauges I have used Colgate toothpaste! That's right toothpaste! I also use toothpaste on my watches! It really works!

this is the kit i have, i also have a bottle of the anti-static cream and a bottle of detergent.....


works amazing...

be careful about this method, ive tried toothpaste on some plastics with no success and it scratched it worse than before

how about some 3m headlight restore kit. I fixed my old VIII tails that were severely scratched with it and they look brand new afterwards.

I've done it! and it really works.

i used Rubbing compound fine by 3m and it worked fine and perfect.. look like brand new!

thanks for the suggestion guys...

I also found plast-x to be very good
