Default GS - Speedometer Hazy.

Does anyone know how to get rid of a haze on the speedometer glass. I kinda looks like there is dried up water stuck on it, but it won't come off. It only bothers me when the sun hits it. Does anyone else have this problem...is there a solution.

Have you tried wiping down the plastic shield with a microfiber detailing cloth from 3M, or similar? I know it picks up dust and fibers, but if you rub down hard enough, it should eliminate any water or spit stains seen on the plastic. It works great on my PC monitors too

Buy some microfiber detailing cloth and some Plexus glass/plastic polish. Spray the Plexus on, let it sit a few seconds, then dry up the excess with the microfiber. Wait about 10 more seconds and then buff it with a dry area of the microfiber until it feels glossy smooth. The plastic will look as transparent as it did from the factory.

If we're talking regular microfiber detailing cloths, why not get them from Ranney at PakShak? He's a CL sponsor (officially or otherwise) and will give you a CL discount.

Here's a link to the website: PAKSHAK MICROFIBER

Thumbs up Free towel request

You can get a free sample microfiber detailing towel by emailing to sales@autofiber.com. Be sure to include your address in the email too. I got mine a few days ago

That offer expired.
