good point- i guess this is one of the areas where we will have to learn to live with it.

PolyWatch(crystal Polish) and Plexus(plastic cleaner/polish) are a couple of products I've used with good results.
Despite the corn-ball name, PolyWatch does a good job removing fine surface scratches from different types of plastics. I've used it to remove scratches from both my car and motorcycle instrument cluster lenses. It's marketed as a acrylic watch crystal polish and as such, it's sold in small 5gram tubes for about $8.00. I've only seen it available for sale on the internet, but you could probably see if a local jewelry store stocks it.
I use Plexus plastic cleaner/polish for regular cleaning and protection of headlight lenses and instrument cluster. It leaves a clear polish-able film on the surface. Should only be used on smooth hard plastic surfaces; so don't use it on the satin anti-glare Nav. screen

I don't own an A4, but have used PolyWatch to polish out swirl marks on my A3 cluster lens. I made the mistake of using glass cleaner and a paper towel the first time and it was a mess. I use the Plexus cleaner on the cluster lens every time I vacuum out my interior (1 or 2 times a month). I'm assuming the that cluster lenses on both A3 and A4 are made of the same material.
I occasionally browse the A4(B8) forum in the desperate hope there will be news of the Avant being offered in the U.S with quattro+manual.
