Hi,

I am just ruined my speedo lens (sweeping gauge) from a malibu b/c i used a little cleaner on it (thats what i get for being OCD-sometimes).
SO now i need to find a place who sells them.
I checked NPD, OPG, and classic chevy....

ANY IDEAS?
Thanks,
Franchise

I sanded the scratches out of mine and polished it on a cloth buffer wheel with Jeweler's rouge.

I've used Meguiar's plastic polish(2 step system) on a taillight lens I did the same thing to a few years back. It worked really good but I don't have to look at it every time I drive so results may very.

Ron,

I polished mine up similar to the way these guys said - I just didn't use the sandpaper, I used only Meguire's Scratch-X.

Oh, yeah - that's why my elbow's now bad, too. :D

If they are just scuffed, Plastic polish or Scratch-X will take it out.

Mine had some deep scratches which I sanded out with 400 , then sanded with either 1200 or 1500, I can't remember which.
