How do you guys clean the gauge/instrument cluster? I'm worried about creating scratches. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. It just seems like that plastic is easily scratchable.

Hmm... it's pretty dusty in my area and i just use a soft microfiber as well to brush it lightly but I've never had to clean anything heavy off the plastic.

Ya, I'm probably paranoid, but the 330ci that I had for seven years ended up with some light scratches on the cluster. It just makes the car seem that much older. Thanks for the input.

Just go very lightly on the first pass and you should be fine, and pick up the worst of the dust and dirt. Imagine you're using sandpaper instead of a towel. Then you can go back over as needed on the now (mostly) clean cluster.
