OMG meguiar's clear plastic polish!!

Well my head unit display was looking aweful and just recently had somehow gotten two deep scratches. I was really considering buying a new face, but I wanted to try and use some plastic polish I had laying around. So usually it ruins the display by clouding the plastic, but not this time. I rubbed a little on and wiped off, ALL the tiny scratches are gone and the two deep scratches are there still but almost invisible from certain angles! This stuff is amazing and saved me from buying a new faceplate! It's meguiar's 10 clear plastic polish. Just needed a couple drops.

I was shocked. Those two big scratches were always catching my eye, now there's gone.

Hey I just used it on the headlights and tails cause yes they're plastic. It helps, but not for the deep scratches and rock chips. It does help tho, just remember to wax once you use the polish.

not much. I heard polish is good at it, but really you can't make them go away without buffing or sanding. Those chemicals just fill them in temporarily.

If Scratch X doesn't remove the scratches and swirls you're looking a something that needs to be taken care of by machine (dual action polisher).

^^^ It's good stuff but don't forget to get the sister product, Mirror Glaze Clear plastic cleaner.

Or try the new Mother's (sorry MeguiarsEM) Clear Plastic Polish, it will do double duty on black plastic.
