Default Cleaning Instrument Cluster... Ideas anyone?

I'm finishing up on the final BIG detailing of the car before winter sets in...

Anyone have any ideas on cleaning the instrument cluster plexiglass without scratching it all to hell?

Thanks!

Default wet chamois works pretty good..using it lightly...if you do get a scratch, you can polish it out...

i've done that before with some compund, it works good.

Plexus. It's an acrylic/plastic polish, available from most aquarium shops.

Default I was using some expensive fine diamond abrasive...don't know who makes it. Dude, you need wheels...

on that 1.8T.
Plexus?...I'll check it out...maybe a cheaper alternative other than a paint polish.

Default Plexus is pretty inexpensive. I think my local Home Depot even carries it.

Aquarium places use it all the time to keep their fish tanks nice and clear on the outside.

I like my rims! Unless of course, you'd like to donate to the "Buy Me Some Rims Foundation"

Scotch Brite or any other microfiber cleaning cloth. I use Meguiar's #10 plastic polish too.
