Default How to clean speedo display?

What do you guys do to keep the speedometer display plastic clean and scratch free. Mine gets dusty from back roads top down driving.

If you can get Plexus that is amazing stuff, it helps to keep plastic and glass surfaces dust free, it doesn't attract dust statically. Polishes up super slick and smooth, I love the stuff, use it on my Mugen rear window as well, it is expensive but nothing compares IMO. Some typical vinyl cleaners can spot or stain the dash so I avoid them.

So do you just spray some on microfiber cloth and wipe down the display?

yes it is an aerosol, you can spray it on the part or on a cloth, wipe until the surface is clear and smooth, you know polishing action is done when the surface is super slick. A can will last you many years, despite the cost nothing works as well IMO, motorcycle guys swear by this and I use it on many surfaces with great results.

sounds good , let us know how you like it. It works great on plastic rear windows, and rear taillights and front headlights too if you need any more uses for it, I use it on my Mugen hardtop lexan window and the interior cluster and front headlights and tails. A little bit goes a long way, I also like the smell of it , lol.

For tasks such as this I like to use the Novus Plastic Polish system. It comes in three different "strengths" that you can choose to work with depending on how bad the plastics are scratched (sort of like using sandpaper in finer and finer grit ratings to smooth something out, but in a liquid format). You can always start with the least intrusive formula to see how effective it is, but then can break out the more heavy duty stuff if needed. Works great on headlamp/brake light covers as well as the central brake light on the lip of the trunk as well.

My display is not scratched at all. Its just dusty. I drive top down a lot. My goal is to keep it clean without scratching it.
