We all love the shiny bezel and stand that our nice Panasonic TV's come with and most of us want to keep it like that.
Unfortunately, the provided cloth does a great job scratching the bezel and stand and it is NOT recommended that people use this cloth.
Heres a TIP to keep it looking nice shiny and free from scratches. This also goes some way to hiding scratches:
- Dust down the surface with a Pledge Magic Duster (available at all leading supermarkets) and make sure surface is dry
- Apply wax
- Let it settle for a few minutes
- When the wax has hazed (looks a bit like powdery residue), Buff out using a micro-fibre cloth (make sure you take your time buffing out and buff in the direction of the bezel and not in a circular movements)
Now what you have done is give it a protective layer of wax which should be OK for 3-6 months. This will protect the bezel and stand from fine scratches which occur when cleaning with a cloth or even with a duster. In essence, the wax is what will be getting scratched and not the bezel/stand.
It also has the added benefit of leaving your bezel/stand looking nice and shiny and brilliantly black.
What i use:
Fantastic Fur Microfibre Buffing Cloth: http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/Store/Product/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=741
'Concours Look' Carnauba Wax: http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/Store/Product/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=444
These are products which i use to wax my car also and it works a treat on its panels.
You can also do this on other glossy surfaces or even wooden surfaces. I apply wax to the top of my wooden speakers, my glass coffee table, my logitech harmony 1000 remote etc.

That seems a lot to pay to me. Would any Carnauba Wax work the same ? As i have seen it cheaper in other places 
What about a bit of oil from the chip pan ?
