Radio Display....

Face protector
This is the cheapest one around look on

This guy was fast with shipping and cheaper than anyone else.

I would go this way before I went with Ghost Armor. I did the Ghost Armor and it was $75 for the 'interior' package - radio face plate, cluster gages, speedometer and TAC. All I really wanted was the radio face plate. After about 4 weeks it shows up with no instructions, natch. I found something on youtube and figured it out myself. Then I'm using the tiny rubber squeegie that came with the covers and oops - somehow i scratch the radio face plate in about 3 places.

Took it off and reapplied to see if I could get the scratches out - no luck. So now I'm cruising around and every time I glance at the radio I see these 3 scratches. Sort of ironic, right? I buy the face plate to prevent scratches and now that's all I see when I look at it. I emailed Ghost Armor to see if they can work anything out - I'm willing to pay for another plate, but not another 75 bucks. No response!

I ordered the face plate from the above URL today for 11 bucks!

This stuff is basically a wax that is formulated for plastic. It is in aerosole form so just spray it on your microfiber and apply.

It says it cannot be shipped because it is an aerosol, so where can you buy it?

Tecc - there are 3 little scratches in the ghost armour itself. Really annoying. Like I said, reached out to GA and no response. Swapping to the Face Plate.

Oooo, phew I thought it scratched the radio face sucks to be down $75 though.

I have a extra one of the Ghost Armor if you want it, they sent me two. I hate when companies take your money and run.

Send a PM to Mustang Killa. I'm sure he would warranty it out and send you a new one.

Plexus can be found at a good motorcycle dealer. It is mainly used for motorcycle windshields.

There is a bulletin out now for the radio display scratches. Here is GM's recommended fix.

If you do this, I'd still recommend getting a clear shield.

#09-08-44-015B: Radio Display Screen Scratches and Scuffs (Polish Display Screen) - (Sep 25, 2009)


Subject: Radio Display Screen Scratches and Scuffs (Polish Display Screen)


Models: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro

2007-2009 Pontiac Solstice

2007-2009 Saturn SKY




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This bulletin is being revised to add the Solstice and SKY. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-08-44-015A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition
Some customers may comment on scratches and scuffs on the radio display screen.

Cause
This condition may be caused by wiping the screen with a dirty cleaning cloth, paper towels or wiping the dirty screen with a bare hand. The high gloss finish on the radio display screen may have a tendency to show these scratches and scuffs. Different viewing conditions, such as bright sun light, may also make the scratches more apparent.

Correction
A GM-authorized dealership or detail shop may use the following procedure to correct the condition. Any scratches that are not removed by this procedure are too severe to be restored. Do not attempt to use a more aggressive material to remove deep scratches. The use of more aggressive materials may dull or damage the display screen.

•Clean the radio display screen and surrounding area with a clean, damp (not wet) soft cotton cloth or a micro-fiber cloth. Do not use any cleaners or solvents - use only clean warm water.
Important: Use only high quality automotive-type masking tape. Do not use cloth-type tape as it may damage the soft touch finish on the instrument panel. Remove the tape immediately after the polishing process is completed.



•Mask off the surrounding area as shown to prevent damage or staining from the polishing material (Camaro shown, Solstice and SKY similar).
•Apply a small amount of GM Swirl Remover Polish, P/N 12377965 (in Canada, use P/N 88900046), to a soft cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth.
•Hand polish the display screen using a circular motion. Polish the display until satisfactory results are achieved.
•Finish the process with a clean portion of the polishing cloth using a straight cross-car motion.
•Remove the masking tape from the surrounding area.
•Clean the radio display screen and surrounding area with a clean, damp (not wet) soft cotton cloth or a micro-fiber cloth to pick up any dust left from the polishing procedure. Do not use any cleaners or solvents - use only clean warm water.

Hey Tecc and Draco - appreciate the posts. Tecc, I'd like to take you up on the offer to get your second face plate. I'll pm u

After reading horror stories about radio face scratches, I bought the ghost armor radio face cover and carefully applied it last month. Looks great, no issues. I'm very happy with it. Next day after it fully dried, don't even notice it on there. Took me all of about 10 minutes.

Whatever you order, while your waiting, A camera store and even wal mart sells a screen overlay for digital camera display screens. They have sheets so you can cut it to fit. Again, just an idea to protect it until whatever you order comes in.
