Instrument Panel Lense

What is used to polish out scratches and not damage the lense?
Is there something I can use with a dremel?

Re: Instrument Panel Lense

Mine had spray paint on it that I wanted to get off. I tried a dremel with a polishing attachment, but that ended up burning the lense. I then used some 3M Microfinishing compound and it took it off easily. Someone else will probably say this isn't a good way to go, but it worked for me. I got it a the local automotive paint supply store, but here's a link so you'll know what to look for:

Hope it works for you!

Re: Instrument Panel Lense

I would go with this: http://www.novuspolish.com/ It's specifically for plastic and probably works better than anything.
