I searched but came up empty. I have spots on plastic face-plates of the three gauges above the compartment. I have tried cleaning them with a microfiber and water, microfiber and light soapy water (dish soap), and even microfiber with a little Windex. Nothing works. The spots, which were there when I bought the car, feel raised and look like they were from over spray of something.

A friend suggested using the stuff that comes in headlight restorer but I am a little weary of making it worse. Spots are better than making it scratched and possible opaque.

Any suggestions? Anyone ever change the plastic? Why aren't they glass?

I had these spots before. It was caused by interior detailing spray that dried up and never got wiped off.

I was able to remove them using PlasticX by Meguiars. It takes time so be patient but it will go away. Use microfibre so you won't cause swirlmarks on the plastic.

 

I'll get on this as soon as I get out of work..
