Use Brasso or Duraglit. These are fine for removing scratches from plastic.

I used the Duraglit substitute on my caravan windows when I scratched them badly against a tree that had been pruned.

This is for mobile phone displays, but *may* work on your radio display.

Another fine product I have come across that can sort this is 'Greygates Plastic Polish', although I haven't seen this stuff for about 20 years and I'm not sure if you can still get it.

"Windolene" works for slight scuffs. "Brasso" and "Duraglit" work for deeper scratches BUT use in small quantities!

These products work on any acrylic material, not just caravan windows.
