Default What do you use to clean the plastic over the speedo, tach, etc.?

I have used windex in the past, but now, when the sun hits it just right, it looks like it has swirl mark scratches. Damn.

I have also used my Oakley sunglass case...probably also a mistake.

Could I use my eyeglasses cleaner and the silky smooth wiper?

Please asvise. Thanks in advance.

Default Plexus and a 100% cotton cloth, towel, or old T-shirt

<i>This plastic polish is used by NASA and the Air Force.

In fact, it's mandated for use on the B1B Stealth Bomber to clean, polish and protect the canopy. That's a $300,000.00 canopy!

This is serious stuff and it's so easy to use. Just spray it on any clear or colored plastic surface and wipe with a clean cloth. Plexus Plastic Cleaner penetrates and lifts even the most difficult stain without damaging the fragile surface of the plastic.

Plexus is anti-static. It repels the dust and dirt normally attracted to plastic. Plexus also leaves an invisible, micro-thin layer of protectant, sealing the porous surface, making it more resistant to dirt, dust and other contaminants.

Regular use will help prevent crazing, yellowing and oxidation which diminishes the plastic's luster, and appearance.

Use Plexus on clear plastic
headlight lens covers...

You'll also love how water beads and slides right off your vehicle when it rains!

Use Plexus on convertible windows, stone & bug guards, window tint films, fiberglass boats & RV's, big screen TV's, LCD computer screens, helmets, goggles and fairings. It will amaze you.</i><ul><li><a href="http://www.properautocare.com/plexus.html">Plexus</a></li></ul>

Default there's a car-care product line that numbers all their products, and...

i have used that stuff. i think it's either 7 or 11, plainly marked for plastic and plexi, and use the finest weave 100% cotton cloth, never paper towels.
and....my son's name is cooper.

Default It's becoming a more common first name...

Any way you look at it, he will be called 'Coop' for the rest of his life.

I am even called this in the work place.
