Any good ways to fix scratches on my radio display, or the plastic surrounding the gauge cluster?

Try sanding it.

For your radio display I MIGHT have a suggestion. There is this product (cant remember what the brand is) but its called apple sauce. Its a 2 step solution that is supposed to minimize the appearance of light scratches on ipods. This might be something you could look into? I am not sure if it would work or how that stuff works but just thought I would pass on the suggestion???

Hmm, I'd be careful with that sanding on your gauge cluster.
I know that autozone has a product for foggy/hazy headlights.
They might have something that could help you out.

brasso does relaly well on ipods, would probably work ehre too, it's basically a metal polish that has a really really fine abrasive, probably equilivent to like 3000 grit sandpaper, i used it for removing scratches from CDs and DVDs, works very well
