Very dirty instrument cluster Hey everyone, I just got a T/A instrument cluster to swap into my camaro and the clear plastic face is VERY dirty. I was wondering how everyone is cleaning these without scratching them. Also if there are some scratches under this dirt how might I fix those.

Any mild cleaner that doesn't contain ammonia should be fine.
For restoration, it's similar to restoring any other type of plastic lens: Compound if scratches are deep, polish (you can start here if the scratches are superficial), and seal with wax/sealant for protection during future dusting. I have used the 2-step 3M lens cleaner & polish for this before - but the cleaner might be more aggressive than you need depending on the condition.
