area around radio **** gets dirty or wearing off
The radio cover on our SC look alumium but Im not sure if they are or just painted. The area around the Radio volume **** on the cover was getting dirty from adjusting the volume all the time and I tried cleaning. It doesn't come off!!!, it almost looks like the covers paint is wearing off or something.
Anyone know a way to clean that area. Or is it really wearing off?

Revitalizing an old thread...I had a rubbed mark on the faceplate near the volume ****. I thought it was dirt/oil so I tried to clean it. After trying several different cleaners, I decided to try Goof Off. Well, it cleaned it all right and took more of the silver paint off. My little spot is much bigger now.
I never really liked the difference in texture and color of the rubbed silver audio faceplate vs the smooth silver temperature faceplate just above it. I'm wondering if anyone has purposely taken all the silver off and now has just black? There are only a couple labels painted on and they're obvious and not really necessary.
Also, I've read how to clean behind the temperature control window, but how can I clean behind this audio window? You can see in the picture the "scratches" which are on the back side of this window. Is the faceplate itself easily removeable in order to both remove the silver and clean this window?

I normally use de-greasers. Goo-gone or goof off would have been harsh. Sorry you found out the hard way. I also want to know how to completely clean the lens. The anti-glare has worn off and now look like scratches.
Somebody here has torn them apart and have cleaned them out. Goes true for the AC Lens as well. If we can only get these cleaned up, they are eye sores.
