Are you talking about the gloss black plastic piece around the controls or the actual panel with the little screen where you have climate control settings?

Any advise on this? I mistakenly used a dry microfiber on the speed cluster dashboard, the radio screen and the main dashboard screen and when the sun hits it on the right angle all I see are scratch marks. Hella annoying.

Sorry to hear that mate. I don't think there's a fix for the instrument cluster panel (speedo cluster) - at least I haven't found a solution yet. Not sure how your main infotainment screen got scratched.. That one is pretty scratch resistant. And what do you mean by the radio screen?

Some say Novus scratch kit works. I haven't tried on clear plastic. I tried it on piano black surface and it didn't really work. Tried on plastic car model and did work; hit or miss I guess. That's why I have a cutout of phone screen protector slapped onto the AC screen and I had to repaint the gloss plastic panel to get rid of the scratches.

I use a higher quality microfiber that I keep rolled up and stored in the side pocket. When cleaning dust etc off the screens, I use the microfiber still rolled up and gently brush the screens without any heavy wiping pressure.

I used the Meguiars Plastx to remove scratches on the clear polycarbonate cover that covers the instrument cluster with good results. Not sure how it will work on other applications.

Yea, that works on the clear plastic coating. It doesn't work on the anti-glare coating on the screens unfortunately. Not only do you scratch the display, you also remove the coating.
