The clear plastic that covers the instruments is crap. It scratches so easy.

Default I did the same thing -m-
I have owned VWs in the past and had the same problem. With the Audi I went the same route as you and used the microfiber cloth and it is scratched to hell already. I like the idea of replacing it and maybe get some sort of clearcoat or clearmask put on it.

It is very anoying having to look at it.

Default I've found that low gloss armorall does a nice job actually! Just make sure you don't use Windex ..
to clean it.
