Scratched Acrylic on Tach/Radio/Temp Display
I saw a smudge on the main display and the tachometer, so I tried to wipe it down with a napkin and it scratched!...
Any ideas or good polishers I can use to get it out?
I can't be the only this has happened to...I just bought my GT RX-8 3 days ago..not even 200 miles yet..
Please help!!

I've thought about that already...but, what I am concerned about is making it worse with a plastic scratch remover.
Most of those polishers/removers can distort the acrylic. The last thing I want to do is distort the acrylic on the TACH. Also when using polishers, what you are really doing is replacing a big scratch with a bunch of little ones. I was hoping there was a product that someone used and was successful....anyone?...anyone?..Beuller?...
...Bueller...anyone?

Leave it man. Trust me. The other materials can fog it up.
Unfortunately interior blemishes/scratches happen within a few days. Thats my advice. sal@zainobros.com may be able to recommend something. But do your research first

NEVER, ever use a PAPER Napkin to clean anything on the 8! If you spill something take off your shirt and use it! haahhaha JK. Paper is all harsh fiber! I use 100% cotton rags/towels. I just got a MICROFIBER rag and must say that it is great!. It will automatically lift dust and stuff from the dash/controls with no polish (Maguires, etc)! Its a must have for any 8 owner
