Anyone have any tips on removing scratches from a faceplate? I had heard toothpaste, anyone know if this works, or is safe to try? Thanks.

There is a specific product for removing scratches from plastic. I can't remember the name of it (sorry).

Last place I saw some was at Beamriders in Surrey. You could maybe try an eyeglass place as well.

Hope this helps.

Hey
I have used and can recommend the NOVUS #1 & 2 scratch removers in addition to the Meguiars mentioned by MegaHurtz. Slow proces but you get an awesome finish, use them on all my pinball machines.
Good Luck, J
