    And I would also think the removal would be compromised somewhat in the lower temps. But this is only me speculating. (I love Speed, and have used it often).
    Thanks Paul. I’m hoping it works out well and that I don’t wind up regretting it.

    I don't think there will be any regret.

    Like I said, turn the truck into the sun, and do one test spot. If unpleasant results are found, stop and have a beer. Lol

    Not sure where you are exactly, but the cold temps are a real bummer for us Geeks, and I know what you are feeling.......
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    I tried something unconventional today... According to Sweet Project Cars, Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish can be used on clear plastic such as gauge clusters or instrument panels. I went ahead and gave it a try on my old Cadillacs gauge cluster since I’m going to be selling the car soon and whaddya know... It actually works. It works phenomenal. It worked so good that I went ahead and tried it on my newer Cadillacs instrument panel and it removed the light scratches and left it perfect.

    I tested a metall polish and finished with the Mothers Billet on some nasty headlights. And did it in the early summer I think and looked them out last week. What do you it has holding up awesome. It's outside 24/7 and it's faced at the east so not much direct sunlight on them though. But think it's impresive it don't has been oxidized again over more than 6 months since done.

    Awesome that it work on the gauges. That is some sensitive plastic and often not much to do with them when they have been scratched up. Are the Cadillacs gauges known to be extreme sensitive of scratching them?

    LOL that's why I'm on forums and not Facebook or Twitter LOL. So I can write my long textbooks
    Have always been hard for me to answer or ask questions in short text. But with social media today it's almost necessary to do so. Just feel like much is left out and it's very easy to missunderstanding. Even this got got long winded LOL

    Should have just answered "Yes" or "Y" or with a cool meme LOL j/k

    I wouldn’t say the gauges on Cadillacs are sensitive, no. BTW it even worked on the stereo display plastic. [not infotainment screen]
