Hi all, brand new to this site. I’ve had my F-Type R for a couple of months now and loving it. I bought it CPO with low miles and in overall excellent condition other than a couple of minor interior blemishes that were easily corrected. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that in perfect sunlight I can see some very light scratches on the instrument cluster (the rectangular probably LCD screen that has the trip/gas info, etc) right above the steering wheel. It is literally only visible if sun hits it a certain way; otherwise, it looks perfect. I have no idea what the prior owner was doing taking such a rough material to that piece. Luckily, I think the scratches are very light and can probably be buffed.

I’ve looked around and there are countless products and methods to fix the scratches, but I haven’t been able to find anyone with a F-Type trying any of them. I’m a little worried I would make it worse, so I figured I’d see if I could get lucky and find someone on here who may have had a similar issue.

Thanks in advance!

 

Seems like there's a recent thread on this...

 

Thanks, I looked and couldn’t find one. I’ll keep digging.

 

There was a thread on scratches recently, but it was not for scratches on the LCD screen if that's where yours are located. If the scratches are on the screen itself, then any of the LCD/phone scratch repair kits should work.

 

Thanks. Yes, mine are on the LCD (I think it is a LCD) screen where all the trip info/digital speedometer shows up. I was thinking about just trying a kit like that to gently polish/buff the swirls.

Novus plastic products are just awesome.... google will show you product line.

 

Thanks to everyone for your responses. This is very helpful. I’m between the Mother’s Plastic Polish per the other thread and the Novus products. Leaning towards Mother’s just because it sounds like someone in the other thread used the product on the exact same piece that I need fixed and it seemed to work very well. I’ll post what I ended up using and results when complete. Thanks again.
