Anyone tried to polish out those on clears, as my ODO has some light marks and scratches that I'd like to polish out.

If so, what compound did you use >!?
 
I'd probably try a specific plastic polish now, but many years ago, before you could buy such a thing at SCA, I remember using plain white toothpaste with the old fashioned Terry towel, I kid you not. It was on one of my Commodores, probably VL or VN from memory. It worked quite well.

Meguiars plastx will work. Griots also makes one. Just fyi the gauge cluster has anti glare coating that you will be removing if you do this.

Thanks guys.

My question is if any compound can be used to achieve this ?

(I've recently polished my lights with M 105 with a great result).

I'd start with your least aggressive polish and if that doesn't do the trick then work your way up until desired results are achieved.

That is just like any paint. Depends on how soft and easily scratched the plastic really is. The mildest polish would be my starting point (like angelwax perfect polish) Paired with the softest finishing pad.
