Id love to know how you removed the scratches... I used a new, super soft microfiber cloth to try and remove some dust and it gave me a fucking HUGE gash like wolveriene fingered that cunt..... so pissed.

I feel we are confusing subjective softness with actual hardness.
A MF towel feels soft but how hard is the polymer it is made of? If it is harder than the butter they use on the screen it will scratch. So IF you have to touch it with a cloth the question is what is actually the softest material from a hardness scale point of view? |

Def worth it for me. Look at my pics for the difference in regular lighting b4 and after. I rather fix scratches showing in regular lighting n sacrifice the matte coating. In heavy glare situations the matte surface barely does anything anyways.

Anyone tried this? https://nperform.com/products/bmw-f2...40647578484889
My cluster is badly scratched and I’m thinking of trying this to see if it makes the scratches less visible |

I’ve just put an order through on the N Perform screen protector. Will report back once I install it on the car

It sounds like removing the cluster and using Novus 1 & 2 seems to be the solution to removing the micro scratches, correct?
I’m aware that this will remove the matte coating. However, the area over my Speedo and Tac are so caked with micro scratches from the dealer that I can barely see through it when there’s sun glare anyway. It drives me nuts. Last edited by DadVibes; 02-13-2022 at 10:31 AM.. |

If not, I'll probably be the next guinea pig. But I'm still a bit nervous, despite the scratches staring me in the face, every time I drive.

Amazing! Very curious to hear your results. If the glare isn't notably worse in direct sun light, this really may be the best solution to the issue.

Those protective films/layer meant for a screen that are cut to fit.... can they be used for these? Just wondering.
These scratches look f*gly. I understand the frustration. Would drive me insane.

if the plastic shield can be removed for polishing, can't it be replaced w/ a new part?
Is it as easy as removing the 2 top screws and pulling out?? I'd answer my question. looks like cluster's a whole unit according to real OEM.
