hi all...

i got my new white 300km/h speedo a few wks ago and sum LED's last wk... it came time to install them and it all went fine... i put the cluster back in place and took it 4 a drive... used my navman to calibrate the speed n all good... time came to put the needle stop back in place... went in fine... go 2 put the clear plastic cover back on n uh oh... there is all fine black mist on the outside of the shield... im pretty sure is paint... i never noticed it b4 cuz i had the factory 180 black kit n now with the white speedo it looks shithouse... i tried soapy water 1st... no luck... tried nail polish remover... no luck... then i got out the turps n tried... no luck!!

Metal polish works better it's just a more abrasive polish than plastic polish, test it on a small area first though. I used metal polish my head lights and they came up perfect with a lot less effort than plastx.

^^ yeah i use silvo for headlights works a treat just don't rub too hard or you'll put scratches in
