Hairline Scratch on Digital Dash Face
In the sun the other day I noticed a small hairline scratch on the digital dash. Not sure how it happened as I only use a damp microfibre towel on this part of the car.
The scratch is not deep and only about 1 inch or so long.
Any ideas how / if I should try and get it out? Am I better off to live with it.
Will Plexus work or do I need something stronger (Meguiars #10 and #17).

plexus would be my first try...
do it twice.
if the scratch is still there, a plastic polish would be next. but be very careful. you need to test a very small area in the corner first to make sure that the plastic polish isnt "fogging" the plastic.
i suggest plexus twice, then report back before polishing.

thanks for the advice
I used plexus twice. It has significantly lightened the scratch and you can only see it if you hold a torch at 45 degrees to the panel and in some direct sun light angles.
I think I have pushed my luck far enough. The scratch itself is not on the tacho or speedo parts of the panel so it doesnt really interfere with driving.
I would prefer not to be a pioneer on this part of the car (I hate to think how much a new one from Honda (particularly Honda Australia) would cost)!
