    What do you all suggest when dealing with dirty/fingerprinted bezels?
    Is it best to just leave them alone, or try to clean them?

    Also, is there a special way to remove these scratches, or a way to avoid them in the first place?

    This happens on like every unit that has a glossy finish. My 6920 had this problem.
    I'm afraid there's not much you can do once their there. I tried Plastx but didn't get rid of any of them. Tried bananas, furniture polish, and toothpaste. Nothing.

    Never tried it on a bezel, but I've had good luck around the house and on my car's headlights with this:

    Flitz Metal, Plastic, & Fiberglass Polish

    Too bad there is no inconspicuous area on a bezel to try it!
