I don't recommend this to anyone but for cleaning, I use this https://www.oakley.com/en-us/product/WA4230001NC It has removed spots and the microfiber that comes with it hasn't scratched my cluster. My only cluster scratches are from personally being a dumb ass... I wasn't aware of how delicate this surface is so the very first time I used a Starbucks napkin.... big mistake. Lucky though, the marks aren't visible unless its in direct sunlight and maybe a placebo, the solution I used makes them appear less severe.

I was able to keep the instrument cluster and piano black trim around the centre console scratch-free for almost 18 months before my local BMW dealer scratched them up. With the COVID-19 guidelines in place, they disinfected the interior by wiping it down with a disinfectant and by doing so scratched those surfaces. It's not too bad but it does bother me a bit.

This might work... it's meant for plastic eyeglasses and it has filling properties so it won't remove any scratches but make them less noticeable.

Taking a page from the eyewear and lab optics industry, I had good success cleaning with these two products.
1/ I sprayed the solution onto the Kimtech tissue to dampen. 2/ Then very very lightly dabbed a small area, then using new section of tissue. 3/ Repeat with a new lightly damp tissue until a flashlight shows it is clean - there might be a trace of moisture, it'll evaporate. Never dry tissue! no side to side! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075L9ZTPB...ing=UTF8&psc=1 and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051QFSCI..._NX3NKiisV9E4g s) |

So I actually tested this on another car before using it on the M2 I haven't used it in the M2 yet because of the cons below.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0863KL6TJ...ing=UTF8&psc=1 Pros: picks up dust and lint, conforms to irregularly shaped surfaces and small crevices, cheap (price) Cons: LEAVES A RESIDUE, does an OK job of cleaning, cheap (quality). I also have the below gel stick that I use for my camera's sensor but I haven't used on the car yet because it's tiny, so it would take forever to do the whole gauge cluster. If the above product is more like the sensor gel stick, I think it would be a better product overall. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046VBEE0...CA2SZJD3W1D726 Last edited by (K); 07-04-2021 at 05:26 AM.. |

Any compressed air recommendations? Obviously tons of options out there, but some of the compressed air cans I've had in the past end up squirting a small amount of solution out when being used, which I can't imagine would be great for the reasons discussed in this thread!

(Old thread, I know. But still a relevant topic for owners I think.)

I bought a new cluster as "preventative measures", facepalm.
