Hey, I think this has been addressed, but I searched and can't find it. The plastic cover to the gear / mileage indicator on the instrument panel...that's getting fairly scratched up even tho I've had the bike only since Jan. I've seen youtube vids of people using toothpaste to remove film / scratches from auto headlights...would it work on the CB plastic cover? Alternative? In the sunlight, the little scratches are adding up to the point the mileage is a bit difficult to read. Not a huge issue, but after getting the bike cleaned up after a trip, that's the only thing that needs attention...can't sleep at night...losing weight...no appetite...you know what I mean.

240 grit grinding wheel on a grinder. Let me know how it come out.

That thing does seem soft for something that people are going to wipe clean all the time. When someone posts a real response, let us know what works. Good luck!

Plastic polish the kind you use to take the scratches out of helmet visors, any plexiglass polish works great.
This is what I use on my plastic.

Cool, thanks gents for the suggestions.

Novus plastic polish will fix any plastic problems. I got rid of a spill of some brake fluid that I didn't notice and sat overnight on my speedometer on my CBR with it.
