Help, I've been hit by a drive by!
Yesterday, a very hot day in Vancouver, I took my daughter to her soccer game and thought that I would leave the top down in the parking lot of the school the game was at. I could see it and felt comfortable nothing would happen.
Long story short, some jerks threw water ***** in the interior and I was paying attention to the game and didn't see them.
I returned to the car and wiped everything down that remained wet, but now I have water spots on the speedometer, tach, temp and feul lenes. I have tried to clean with windex and other glass cleaner. No help. I don't know if polish will hurt those lenes.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions?
Thanks.

Hmm...that's tough
Those lens are glass with a sunglass like coating.
Saw big fat greek weeding last night, (great movie) and while the father in the movie says windex is great for everything (lol) it's bad for cars...Ammonia is not nice to tempered and tinted glass...probably stripped the coating on the lens.
However, maybe clay bar would help...if not, a light vinegar rinse would do it but would probably ruin the lens more.
Sorry to hear this...let us know the outcome.

Try using a lens tissue.
That's the only thing I use on my guages because just about everything else scratches them or leaves some kind of mark. Head to a camera store and pick up a pack and give it a shot.
