Default Lightbar Scratches

Even while turning up my detailing to OCD to "11" somehow my lightbar on the rear is showing a couple of minor scratches on the surface. Not sure how they came about, but there are 1-2 super faint hairline scratches towards the middle.

Any thoughts on how to approach getting these out?

Sure thing. Had to boost the photo to bring it out a bit. Looks worse here than in reality.

How odd. I didn’t have an issue like that on my 992. Possibly something on a microfiber rag when wiping it down? Plastic light housings are delicate by nature.

Sure it's not a crack starting?

From what I can tell, it's just sitting on the surface. I just showed my wife and she couldn't even see it.

Try using some wax on it and see if it clears up. If not, you can get some plastic polish; I've used it on tail lights before and it does an excellent job of repairing minor scratches or haze.
