I have a few light scratches on my instrument panel (clear face). Any body have any luck getting such scuffs out or should I learn to live with them. I definately do not want to make them worse. really wish they would make them out of glass.

I used this stuff on both my windscreen and gauge cluster. Works great!
Toothpaste also works wonders. [thumbsup] The normal stuff not that gel crap....
somewhat related....what's the best approach to remove the light scratches from the paint on metal tanks? for novices, that is...trying to avoid clay bars and all of that....
If the scratch is thru the color coat ( you are seeing base/primer) you are pretty much f*cked. If it is more like swirl marks, then a "filler" type of wax (carnuba or some of the new stuff like NXT) is the least risky way. You can use the meguiar's polish, just go slowly....

Crayons. If you've gone through the color coat and see primer get an appropriate color crayon. Scribble back and forth over the scratch and then buff it off. The colored wax will fill in the scratch and the stuff on he regular paint will buff off. It needs to be redone once in a bit and it's not perfect but does a pretty good job on minor scratches.
