The only 2 things bothering me in the interior of my 951 are the cracked dash and the gauge cluster lense looks like its scratched up and dull when the sun hits it. Does anyone have any advice for cleaning it? I was thinking maybe buffing it with some polishing compound?? Anyone have any suggestions

 

Wouldn't use polishing compound for paint on it...

There's a plastic/plexi task compound out there used on aircraft...

 

Something like this:

ive buffed them w/ compound before - but you have to use the mild stuff and maybe go over it w/ some glaze after that.

I've used Novus 2 and Novus 1 on plastic headlight lenses, and they work extremely well (google Novus for places to buy). If you are going to take the cluster out, get a cotton buffing wheel on a drill bit (Lowes sells them) and use that with Novus 2. Then finish polish with a microfiber cloth and Novus 1. If should look like new when you're done.

Cool!

 

I very recently used some Menzerna Final Polish II to do just that. This is a very high quality paint polish that I became familiar with when doing my paint. It completely eradicated the fine scratches and the lens is brilliant and crystal clear now.

I just did it by hand with a microfiber towel.

 

I got good results from 3M Plastic Polish. Available at most auto parts stores.

I have some Maguires plastic polish that I use on headlights.

 

Worked very well for me, did my radio's removable face too. I was going to replce the radio now it looks like new.
