    Hey guys, just wondering how you guys are cleaning the plastics or getting the scratches off the speedometer, seems to scratch easily even with a microfiber towel

    This is very common. Not much you can really do. Can't wax it or anything unfortunately because...well, plastic. Toyota just made these really cheap.

    Never really bothered me. I can't even tell. If it bothers you, you may try something like a Meguir's plastic polish.

    Some good info on cleaning supplies as well as long term fixes.

    I'm using a Swiffer Duster before I clean with an ultra soft microfiber towel. Seems to be working well with very minimal scratching.

    I am going to try a clear plastic film for long term.
