    I have a really soft plexiglass screen on a car that is just under 4K miles old and it's got some visible scratches (doesn't help that the cluster is aimed at the windscreen) Plast-RX is too harsh in this instance (believe it or not!) But I have found a follow up with Autoglym Super Resin Polish works wonders. My only issue is buffing it off, damp or not, it still scratches!
    Cheers for the tips, worth giving a second go when I have the chance 😁

I did exactly what you said, going to town on the scratches, and it looks much better than it did earlier, for sure!! Definitely going to throw a screen protector for that one, after fixing especially that super deep scratch that is harder to see now! Thank you!

    I was bricking it before starting this on my Nissan Leaf but your video gave me the confidence. It works a treat though and all surface scratches gone. I did it the same as I would on the paintwork. Medium pressure, keep the cloth moving and keep it wet with product. I’d do about 30sec polishing then wipe with a damp then dry cloth. I just kept repeating until all the scratches were gone. Instrument cluster almost like new again.

    I drive a Kenworth t680. I used to have a 2023, brand new, no previous user, but I had to give it up when I went in for hip replacement surgery 3 months ago. When I came back to work, all the company had available was a 2021 Kenworth. The dash looked like someone cleaned it with sandpaper. I tried this routine and it worked perfectly. Lo9ks like a new dash/bezel. The only correction I suggest is for the final cleaning with the PlastRx, let it dry, and wipe off the film with a dry microfiber cloth. It shines! Thanks for the video.

    Great video. But I think you should make a final round with a finish polish like the Menzerna 3000.
    I guess the plast x is pretty much like an heavy cut polish. It cuts the big scratches but left the surface hazy. Adding a final step with a less aggressive polish would be perfect. On some car I guess you can add a liquid wax to add UV light protection and avoid future haziness.

  • @Hakohn2511
    @Hakohn2511 Рік тому +4

    I've tried this and even though some scratches seem to have been removed, the rest of the plastic is now very hazy and when looking from an angle it's not even transparent anymore... when in driver position it's still alright, but from the passenger side you literally cannot see through it anymore. I have a Honda Civic Type R 2010 and this also seems to have stripped the violet colouring the plastic screen used to have...
    Edit: Yep, actually it seems that all 8th gen Honda Civics have that blue tint from the factory, and it gets scratched very easily; when using things like PlastrX you remove the blue tint but also remove the scratches.
