I finally found a product that works great to restore them. Mine used to be very hazy and looked bad, so I tried various products but nothing seemed to work.

Then yesterday I went to my local Schucks auto parts store and got some Meguiar's PlastX. It's a clear plastic cleaner and polish, and it works very well.



I applied about a pea-sized amount to a wax applicator and rubbed it hard into the plastic on one half of the cover. Then I wiped it clean with a clean towel and did the other side, and now my gauge cluster is very, very clear and sharp inside the car. No more haziness at all. >>

I figured I'd post since I know I've had a ton of people ask me if my gauge cluster cover from the parts car is in good shape because theirs is hazy.

Ooooh Coomer drive to Natalies today & give us some lol

How much was that bottle? Seems like an awfully large bottle for this single application. I wonder what else it'll work on.

It was $6 or something...I probably have enough of this stuff in the bottle to make every 6GC member's cluster clear again. >>

It says it can be used on things like the back plastic windows in convertible tops, tail-lights, motorcycle windshields, etc.

Show us a pic of ur cluster.

Here's one for now...it's all I've got. I can take a better shot tonight though. >>

can I go too?

Yes, it's the Yelli Celi. The gauges and climate control unit are back to stock green lighting. The red climate control unit modifications I did didn't make it look like stock-quality, so I went back to a factory setup so that the car looks more professional to potential buyers. Also, I love change. >>

And the VVT light isn't on because the key is in the ignition on position when that pic was taken. If I'd had it in accessory(or if the engine was actually running and I hit VVT), it'd be on. >>

would that work for light scratches? I heard metal polish worked but I might have to try that instead

The bottle says it does. >>

It worked for mine and all i had was a sample. It works great on head lights.

sweet. I'm also curious how long it would last? I've got some scratches on my s-afc and my ipod that need taking out

i bought the same kind of product (mothers plasic polish). i tried it and it didnt work for me. it looks like some kind of paint or something like that. anybody wanna sell me the CLEAR plastic piece that covers the gauges??

I bought Mother Plastic Polish yesturday and used it on my gauge inside and out ..and damn that stuff works great.... but i did have to use it twice.. cause i did it wrong the frist time.. i didn't let the stuff dry all the way...

I bought meguirs scratch X and it worked perfectly before a wax. I waxed after it, and my baby looked great for a couple months

then it rained, and for some reason all my scratches came back

We're talkin about interior plastic pieces and stuff mang
