What I used

I used 'ICE', the all interior cleaner and it took the scratches out. Then I use invisible glass to clean routinely.

Plush microfiber towel with a light, and not so damp, solution of the APC of your choice.

Invisible glass cleaner is different than your normal blue glass cleaner. I think 'Stoner Inc.' makes it. I've used it for years. As for the scratches on the cluster window, I had a 96' stang years ago that we rebuilt and it's cluster window was faded, scratched, etc. Someone told me to try this ICE, I had nothing to lose because it was already toast, and it worked really good, cleaned up some of the fading, took out the scratches. Now, I dont know if plastics are the same now as back then? And if yours isn't too bad, I'd try something less abrasive first.

I use Invisible glass cleaner. If just dusty I use a small California Duster. It works great.

It don't scratch the bezel? Every thing that I have seen will scratch it.
