Default Gauge plastic covers cleaning

My triple gauges above the compartment have spots that I can't remove. I can't even tell if they're on the inside or outside. Has anyone replaced them? How difficult are they to remove?

Why aren't they glass to begin with?

I'll bet the spots are caused by some Armorall sprayed on the dash. Armorall seems to stain clear plastic if not removed immediately. I haven't seen glass gauge covers in the last 30 years.

Thanks, JCITY I'll do a search for 210 by Sumner Labs. I tried blue magic plastic and plexiglass cleaner and scratch remover with no luck.

KornerCarver, it does in fact look like it was from some overspray. Personally, I use Meguiars Natural Shine and would never squirt it directly onto a surface.
