hi all...

i got my new white 300km/h speedo a few wks ago and sum LED's last wk... it came time to install them and it all went fine... i put the cluster back in place and took it 4 a drive... used my navman to calibrate the speed n all good... time came to put the needle stop back in place... went in fine... go 2 put the clear plastic cover back on n uh oh... there is all fine black mist on the outside of the shield... im pretty sure is paint... i never noticed it b4 cuz i had the factory 180 black kit n now with the white speedo it looks shithouse... i tried soapy water 1st... no luck... tried nail polish remover... no luck... then i got out the turps n tried... no luck!!

Metal polish works better it's just a more abrasive polish than plastic polish, test it on a small area first though. I used metal polish my head lights and they came up perfect with a lot less effort than plastx.

^^ yeah i use silvo for headlights works a treat just don't rub too hard or you'll put scratches in

TOOTHPASTE, works really well used that on my headlights and now the front of my car is minty fresh, should try mouth wash as coolant
