    I have a few light scratches on my radio touch screen,they're only visible when the sun hits it a certain way. I was think of trying Meguiars plastx but Meguiars says not to use on radios with navigation because they have an anti glare coating. Can someone recommend something else that might work to take the scratches out? Thanks

    You could put a screen protector on it to hide the scratches and prevent other new ones

    I would prevent new ones but I would still see the original scratch under the screen protector.

    On a $2000 touch-sensitive surface, I'd hesitate to use an abrasive like PlastiX. Might just have to live with this one.

    If the scratches are light a glass screen protector would hide them.
