Hazy plastic question

[ikantbreave]

Hiya folks,

Anyone know of a good way to clear up a hazy instrument cluster. I don't want to buy a new one yet because it still works. Thanks.

Is the haziness on the inside or outside?

You could try rubbing compound or a really fine polish. If it's on the outside I would think it should be fairly easy. If it is on the inside that is going to be some work.

Pretty sure its on the outside. So far I only tried soap, thanks for the info.

I cleaned up an original wind screen on a 86 gs400 I had. The bike had 7000km, but had seen some sun. I used turtle way rubbing compound, comes in a red n' white plastic tub, and the past is brick red/brown. A few good rubs downs with that and I had a useable windscrean. further polishing needed to be done to actualy make it really clear.

Also, use an electric buffer. I did the windscreen by hand and it took me over two days total.
