Hey guys - noticing that whomever owned my CPO ‘15 Convertible somehow managed to scratch the hell out of the plastic fronts of the tachometer, speedometer and the mini “openometer”. Like, how does that even happen? These aren’t scratches from using a dirty cleaning towel. It’s like someone (or some dumb unsupervised child) took their finger (or god knows what else) and scratched the surface. I’ve owned two minis previously and this never happened. It’s like it took effort for this person to do this. Not a huge deal, can’t see it unless you’re looking or the light shines correctly. However it bothers me. Can these plastics be easily and affordably replaced? I don’t think they can be buffed out at all since it’s plastic. Thought?

didnt even know that existed thank you!

Yes, some nit wit also had a large circular scratch in the middle of the speedometer and I buffed it out. There is a film that comes off first that I believe prevents glare. At first with just the film coming off it looked much worse than better but I persisted. Eventually buffed into every nook and cranny and the scratch did disappear. Although I have many small buffing pads this was all done by hand. Very easy to get carried away and make the situation worse if you’re not careful. I used a polishing compound that I have and then used Plexis as a finishing coat for protection.
