Crystal Shifter Scratch
Hi All,
I am a new X7 owner and just came back home with a really nice CPO 2021. It is nicely upgraded and has the Executive package, including the crystal shifter. I know for sure the shifter was in perfect shape when I bought it, but I am just now seeing a thin scratch, a little less than a cm on one of the crystal/glass faces. 90% sure the dingdong at the state inspection did it today, but I noticed it way too late. It isn’t so bad where I think that we need to replace it, and I think something can be done to make it look better. Does anyone here have any experience with what might work best to try to polish it out. I am down the rabbit hole of considering diamond paste and my dremel - an idea my wife is not fond of. Anyhow, I thought I would reach out - I imagine someone has been in the same boat as me and I could learn from experience. Thanks! |

No Dremmel as it may cloud the surface being way too aggressive.
Try any polish designed for plastic like motorcycle windscreens, etc…. Or better yet try some paint cleaner/polish that removes hairline scratches. Stay with a very light polish/compound first. P21 polish is my goto for anything like this. https://www.amazon.com/P21S-12350B-P...s%2C107&sr=8-2 https://www.amazon.com/NOVUS-PC-10-P...s%2C118&sr=8-8 Last edited by MystroX5; 06-13-2023 at 07:35 AM.. |
