Hi everyone,

New J11 Mk. 2 owner and I love it so far.

I have some minor scratching and 'misting' from someone using something too abrasive on the clear plastic covering the speedo/revs/info.

Would be really nice if there is a way of polishing this out, or even happy to replace with new clear plastic but I can't find anything on eBay/Amazon?

Any advice appreciated, I don't want to make it worse with T-cut/toothpaste or similar if that's the wrong way about it.

Many thanks.

You will need to replace the cluster .
Ask the dealer is the front of the cluster is available - as they are often replaced due to noise.
Polishing plastic will probably make is opaque

I had the same problem with my Qashqui. I used https://www.meguiars.co.uk/product/plast-rx-296ml/ this worked fine. But your scratches look a lot worse than mine. Make sure you only use a clean microfibre cloth as any dirt or dust will make it worse. That's probably how the scratches were made in the first place.
