Need to clean my instrument cluster, already purchased Plexus, whats the BEST microfiber for it
I can't afford to scratch another instrument cluster, I already replaced one cluster due to my perfection phobia, I had little microscopic scratches using Sunglass cleaner and a microfiber, will it happen with Plexus also? The scracthes Im refering to are like swirl marks, little scratches in the plastic when you go under the sun, its annoying as hell!

I scratched mine using a soft cotton polishing cloth and plexus.
You can't see the swirls, unless the sun hits it...then whammo! I don't have any foolproof suggestions for you.

I think those swirls are there when the car leaves the factory.
I swear, there's no avoiding them. I just use a damp microfiber and wipe very lightly. I don't have any recommendation for a particular brand.

I have an old bottle of Plexus Polish- - ->
not the cleaner, well, I have that as well, but the polish is an ultra fine jewelers buff. Like super diluted Final Polish.
I used a terry cloth and a dab of the polish and the scratches are gone.
I bought at an aquarium supply house. It is used to polish acrylic fish tanks.
Regular Plexus is fine in between.

What about using that "air in a can" stuff used for cleaning cameras, keyboards, etc.?
I haven't tried this yet but have been meaning to get a can of compressed air. I think any good camera or electronics store should have it. Give the cluster a good squirt (of air) to get rid of any larger (dust) particles *then* use a micro-fibre cloth and polish if needed.
I have not figured out a way to avoid tiny scratches even with the softess of cloths.
