Devin04 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I suppose this could be caused from the coarse bristles on my vacuum attachment. I have swirls on my dash plastic. Make it go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Junkman2008 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 You fix swirls in your glass the same way you fix swirls in your paint. How you are going to get a buffer up in there is a totally different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Devin04 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 It's not so much glass as it is a plastic. That clear polish might work I forgot about that. Also I have this 3M headlight restoring polish somewhere that I thought might work. I don't really feel like taking it apart to get a buffer on it. Since those house all the gauges and odometer they are usually pretty hard to get into I might end up causing more damage. I might try masking it off and using some SHR, FMP, or that stuff from 3M by hand. Thanks for the ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Baron_Von_Awesome Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Those marks are really hard to get out because that plastic is so soft - I normally don't recommend trying anything on it because oftentimes there's no going back - if you use something too aggressive, you're stuck with the scratches.

0 Loud Pedal Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 The plastic on gauge clusters are extremely easy to scratch and should be cleaned very very carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need it perfect, I just want to smooth out some of the swirls. Would even FMP by hand be too much? I don't think it could get much worse.

0 GerryC Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I used SHR on my Taurus' gauge cluster plastic cover. It didn't do much for the scratches but it made it clearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Superdutytd Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I've heard the new glass cleaner has a bit of abrasives in it that might help? I used it on my gauge cluster and its worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Devin04 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) I'll probably leave it be like people have been saying. But if I do anything to it I'll be sure to take pics. Edited June 20, 2009 by Devin04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
