So my noctis 450 black sidepanel was full of dust and i decided to wipe it with a micro fiber cloth as it seemed like a good idea. Apparently it wasn't though because now i have alot of scratches on the window of my sidepanel and its really bugging me. And i was wondering if you know about any ways to remove or lessen the scratches, or if i could replace the sidepanel with maybe like a fractal design r5 sidepanel as they sell those here in Norway. Not sure if that would fit though, so an answer to if that would work or any other sidepanel replacement ideas would be very much appreciated

Thanks in advance :)

They get scratched easily, just try to ignore it or replace it. Trying to polish out scratches on plastic is tricky business. You can buy polish for plastic (google it) but I think you would be better off ignoring it. I ignore mine. Also the plastic on my side window is not only scratched but it is starting to get cloudy too. Maybe from the heat over the years.

i used plastic polish successfully on my phanteks side panel

though it took a fair bit of elbow grease to do it

really i should have got a buffing attachment for my cordless drill would have been a lot easier

have also heard of people using tooth paste on scratches but never tried that myself
