Don't know how i got those scratches...can only see them in dark...like in the garage...i just notice them today when i started up my car..the car is only like 4 months old..any advice...

did u notice it when you just bought the car? well try wiping it clean with windex or something making sure its not water streaks or something but it's pretty hard to clear up scratches on plastic see what the dealer says about it and if not get a clear vinyl and put it on top of it this is something new for me some members might disagree but it would minimize the scratches sorry hopefully someone else can give u a better suggestion

If the scratches are inside of the plastic shield it's a warranty item.

If the scratches are on the outside of the plastic shield, it's your cost.

I had the same problem with mine after my leasing company shipped my G35 to me and I picked it up late in the evening (which is a big "no-no" to take possession of a new car at night.) Evidentally, the dealership that my leasing company got my car from had done a slop job in prepping the vehicle (even after I explicitly explained that I did not want the dealer prepping my car prior to ownership...) Then they tried to cover over the scratches and damage with a shit load of armorall. I noticed that all of the numbers towards the bottom of the display were "fuzzy" and after the armorall started to wear off a couple months later, that's when I noticed that it looked like someone had taken an extremely abrasive cloth and dragged along the entire lower edge of the display cluster. I'm still pissed about it. The local dealer won't touch it, so I'd have to pay out of my own pocket. The auto-detailer I use here stated that even if the dealer fixes it, they may make it worse and create new rattles/vibrations when they break that initial "factory seal."

I certainly wouldn't take the dash or instrument cluster apart if I didn't have to. Try a bit of plastic cleaner and polish first. If it can restore a clouded, scratched up plastic convertible top window to near optical quality, it should work on your gauge face plastic. 3M makes a cleaner and a polish I have used on my Harley's windscreen with very good results.
