Hi
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with trying to polish the plastic clear face plate that goes over the gauges. These face plates tend to get very fine scratches and after 56 years in a car they become hazy. If you have had success with this please explain what you used and how you went about it.
Thanks
go to products~application suggestion~before & after photos good poop been using all these products for years best thing is it cleans & protects like never dull on brass but wont smudge as bad (example)
Go to a Hobby shop...they have a kit with varying degrees of sand paper that will polish scatches out of model car windhields..Novas I think is the name..but not sure...works great...
When I worked at a paper mill we used Johnson liquid floor wax on out plastic face shields to take out the scratches and it worked ok, but if you have deep scratches I doubt anything will help to take them out. Hope this helps. Dan
Toothpaste .. now that brings back some memories, when one didn't have all the polishing products around, I was taught by my ma and grandma, use toothpaste to clean silverware.
It does really work, so yeah shoot for that, use some glaze after that and finish with hmmm wax or something cleaning wax maybe ?
I got an extra gauge cover myself, will try to remember to take some pics of the process
