Hello:

I am digging out a 0-1 ma panel meter and the face has scratches. Does
anyone know how to buff the scratches off the clear plastic cover on
meters?

Hard rubbing and polishing with Brasso. If the scratches are deeper,
start with car polish or cutting compound. Even toothpaste can work.

there are plastic polishes specifically designed to help with this. the
window cleaner used for the plastic canopies of aircraft is good. check with
a local private airplane field fixed based operator.
