What's the safest way to clean the plastic over the instrument cluster?
On my B5 it had plenty scratch marks by the time I sold it. Want to avoid that on the B7. Thanks!

Microfiber towel in your glove box to keep it clean...
...with a periodic <i>gentle</i> wipe -- the less you're wiping off, the less it'll scratch. When you are doing a thorough cleaning, use Plexus to really clean and shine it.

By never, ever vacuuming it. The nylon bristles on the brush attachment will
scratch the hell out of that plastic (and your wood as well, for that matter).
Plexus + MF towel from day 1 will work very nicely.

Re: if its just dust i just use compressed air. if stuff on it then what troy said.
ALSO, to remove scratches P21S makes a scratch remover that works fantastically well on plastics, I have used it for both headlights and the instrument cluster cover. to apply i used a foam pad i got from DP
