Anyone dealt with this before? Gauge cluster plastic

[hyu]

Honestly I've only tried rainex/windex thinking it was a smudge. It looks fine when wet but after it dries it turns ashy white again

Its been kinda bothering me for a while but I can't seem to put a dent in it. Could it possibly be etched plastic? And if so how do I take care of it?

Pick up a bottle of Meguiar's PlastX and and a microfiber towel. With a little patience you should be able to polish that out. Good luck! :xyxthumbs:

Without seeing the mark my only suggestion would be to remove the plastic window over the instrument cluster and polish it. I have had very good luck by using the two part Meguiar's products.

I always keep a bottle of Novus #2 in the tool box! Actually started using it as a paint polish for model cars, works great on the hobby enamels and lacquers.

If you can take it out-take it out. If you want it perfect it will save time in the long run. It's a tight spot and i dont know you can get the pressure evenly distributed the way I will need to be to get a good finish.

I finally used good old Brasso on the radio. Where the time and freq is displayed.
Someone on this forum recommended it. Tried it and it worked.
