    What to use to clean the clear plastic over the dash instruments? I assume not glass cleaner.

    The manual says not to wax it! But that's all it says.

    Thanks for the link on scratch repair which might be useful for future reference, but I was just asking about cleaning. No scratch problems, it's just dirty.

    What to use for routine cleaning?

    I don’t use anything except a microfiber cloth for window cleaning. Very lightly rubbing didn’t scratch mine at all

    I bought a Swiffer and keep it in my truck and every day or so I just lightly run that over the plastic and it picks up all the dust and definitely doesn't scratch it.
