Remove the cluster and use some plastic polish to take care of that.

They dont sell them as a separate part, just as part of the entire assembly. They do, however come off, and can be easily polished.

Mine was a mess when I bought my Max so I got a new one from the dealer. Paid around $35 for it. (part# 24813-1L100)

It's a royal pain in the dumper to take out, so if you feel you need to take it out to clean it up, or the Plastx doesn't work, just get a new one

Plexus is a very, very mild polish. It won't remove anything but the most minor imperfections.

I have had good luck with the Novus line of polishes. There are 3 grades. You should be able to get some at your local Harley Shop.

Youd be surprised what it can really do in the right hands

Are you talking about the Plexus spray? I got some from my tint guy. He said it was the best thing to use to clean and seal the tint. I didn't think it was abrasive enough to remove anything but the lightest imperfections.
