Do you guys have any advice for removing some light scuffs from the Multi-function display plastic? Toothpaste, Scratch-X? Thanks.

That plastic is pretty soft - any of the superfine abrasive cleaners will add scratches and dull the finish. Your best route is to buff out the scratches with a dremel-like tool, soft buffing wheel and buffing compound - that is my old-school knowledge, so you might want to check out some websites first that explain how to buff out scratches from plastic or acrylic. Your research time should be about an hour or two, then a few hours to get all your tools/parts/materials together. Ironically, the job itself should take you 5 minutes. 
awais: Be sure to practice first on some other soft plastic.) Good luck. :cheers:

We have stuff called Micro mesh at wk to take out scuffs/scratches in plastic. I work on f-16s and we get our stuff outta supply so I am not sure where to get it commercially but it works great if you can find it

Thanks for the advice guys. The good news is, I got to looking at the MFD and noticed the corners looked kind of funny. It turns out the dealer had never removed the plastic adhesive cover and the protective sheet was what was scratched and scuffed up. So, I peeled it off and voila, problem solved.
