cleaning clear plastic gauges
What is the best way to clean the clear plastic gauges/radio face on my interior without scratching them? I use Adams interior cleaner and leather conditioner on the interior but I am not sure it that would be they way to go on the clear plastic.

I hit mine with a little blast of air, then use a detailers brush to loosen anyting still there. Follow up with another blast of air. I don't wipe them or put any product on them.
No scratches so far.

You can use most any cleaner on them. The trick to not scratching them is to use a soft good quality microfiber towel. A lot of towels will scratch the plastic.
Tip for removing scratches from your plastic faces: I used a little Flitz polish on a microfiber cloth. Shines them right up. Also works on headlight and taillight lenses. Hope this helps. Last edited by Mark's SS; 08-12-2011 at 01:08 PM. |

I will work on the gauges tomorrow. I just brought a small cal duster for the interior, that should clean up the loose dust and then I will try some cleaner on a soft micro towel. Thanks for the input!

First I dust mine with my mini Cali duster. Then I follow it up with a spraying of 1Z cockpit premium, wiping it down with an Adams single soft towel. Works great.
