Cleaning plastic

Featured Replies

Can anyone please suggest suitable cleaning products for the clear plastic that covers the speedo display? I found that on my two previous cars, VW and Toyota, the plastic was easily marked during the cleaning process, even when using very light pressure with a microfibre cloth.

I use those windscreen wipes normally, it seems to work alright

Ask in an opticians what they recommend for cleaning glasses with? I use some glasses cleaning wipes I got at Aldi ages ago, there was about 50 sachets in the box.

The wipes would be ok I guess, but the plastic seems so soft it still may scratch it.

Maybe my wife's blusher brush will be soft enough to get the dust off! ;)

1: Remove any large/hard particles with your vacuum cleaner taking care not to touch the plastic itself. You can also use an air blower for lenses* (like I do) - or a can of compressed air.

2: Mist a good, clean microfibre cloth with any glass cleaner that you use on your windscreen - and then gently wipe the plastic.

A good microfibre cloth will not scratch! But if there is a small hard particle under a cloth, the plastic will get scratched no matter what you do or what you use. Keep that in mind.

*Air blower for lenses - the one I use:
