Removing scratches from faceplate? Pics

[JeepSound 10+ year member]

Has anyone ever tried to remove scratches from their faceplate?

I bought my 490ib about 6 months ago, and even with very little use (the vehicle it's in has been off the road for a while) the faceplate has still managed to get scratched.

It didn't come with a case and I didn't bother getting one until now.

I'd like to basically start fresh and get the scratches out because now I know I can keep it in clean with the case.

They're not major scratches, and only one tiny scuff, but it'd be nice if I could get them out.

Try contacting Pioneer and see what they say. That would probably be your best bet.

Yeah, I didn't think of that.

I'll shoot them an email and see what I get back.

Ive read on other websites that Meguiars PlastX plastic scratch remover made for headlight lenses works, but I havent tried it.

You can find it at most auto parts store for around $8.

Thats what I was thinking, plastic scratch remover or polisher could work.

I might try that stuff, maybe grab a couple other scratch removers too.

I was just hoping somebody had tried this before and knew of a brand that worked.
