Gauges installed

Props to subtledreamer for a great DIY. It took me close to 2 hrs. to complete. I also change the turn signals to blue. The hardest part is getting the new gauges over the old ones without screwing up the needles. I love the way they look, their really bright which I like. Anyways in the process I scratched the plastic that covers the gauges. Will rubbing compound get the scratch out? or maybe I should use Megs scratchX. Any suggestions?

Its not very hard. It took me a good 2 hrs. So it may take a shop half the time.
