Scratches on faceplate

I was stupid enough to try to wipe out the OEL display's surface with a regular napkin..it left a few visible scratches. Is there anyway to get rid of those? Thanks

After reading your post yesterday, I looked at my Bose screen, and have the same problem! All I've used to dust it is a Swiffer wipe, and a damp cotton rag. I don't know which one caused the light scratches.

Where do you get that scratch removal stuff? Is it safe on plastic?

I got the Kit stuff at my local drugstore, but any automotive supply place should have something similar. Just use a clean cotton rag, apply a small dab to the rag and rub on the plastic. Let dry to a haze then buff off. I also use it on my clear headlight covers. If you are unsure, try it on a piece of scrap clear plastic first.

Use the same 3M plastic polish people use on their gauge housings.
