The clear plastic faces on a couple of my gauges look a little fogged; I get hit with a penalty at a show. Maybe somebody used some cleaner with a little too much solvent or something, but can I get them nice & clear again?

Brasso maybe?

thx

When I had my gages out, I used Brasso on the lenses and now they look crystal clear, like new! It took several treatments because the lenses were pretty worn.

I've used Brasso on all my exterior lenses and they look pretty darn good also. Basically I've used it on anything plastic and it's always worked.

There are a number of products that will clean up plastic but I've always had success with the Brasso so I've never changed to anything else.

I tried Brasso on my 10-year old Polycarbonate headlight lenses, and it seems to have helped, but only a little. Walmart has a kit with some polish & a tool you use with the drill to polish newer headlamps.

Brasso is hard to find, so IMO, you should buy two if you find some.

A couple thoughts

to try some CD cleaner, since as I understand it, that stuff gets into the scratches and blends it away. Could be wrong, and if I am, then you have some stuff to repair your scratched CDs.

How about stuff for cleaning plastic glasses-check at LensCrafters or any other glasses shop.

Napa sells a plastic cleaner I used it on mine when I did the white face mod! Worked good!

I've been getting great results using Finesse-it 2 made by 3M (05982). It is a finishing compound used for machine wheeling paint, but I use it to bring back the luster on plastic by hand polishing. You can remove imperfections and scratches first by wet sanding, graduating up to 1500 grit before polishing.

I don't need to do any sanding, just the polishing to get the stuff of the surface that's making it look dirty

I have had fantastic results with the Meguiar's MIRROR GLAZE . It says for clear plastic but I have found it is great on the taillights and turn signals as well. They have three levels of cleaner , and it depends on the damage . On my gauges I used the mildest two, but with the exterior lenses I used all three. Gary

Have you stopped by Eastwood Co to see what they have?

Hard to find here in the States.

Finesse-it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This stuff WORKS.

I used Meguiar's Mirror Glaze also. They have a cleaner and a polish. My results were very nice. Can be found at most chain auto parts stores like Schucks.

Good luck.
