Replacement speedo lens source? (1 Viewer)

Hey folks, I’ve searched here but haven’t seen a solution for this. It appears etched into the plastic and a scale remover doesn’t help. Any thoughts? Maybe just call it age spots and move on? Thanks, d

Wow. I can’t imagine being able to get that to smooth out. Have you done this yourself? Do you use a drill with a buffing pad?

That novus stuff works. I used it on a firstgen 4runner dash lens with a buffer and was amazed with the results. It looked brand new. This is after trying megs plastix and making it worse

This was done with Scholl S17+ and S30 paint correction liquids and microfiber cloth by hand. It is not a must that the compuds are made for plastic. All will work if they are "mild" enough. Plastic is soft so the result is not hard to reach.

I’m a believer. Thanks for the Novus recommendation. Compare this to the first pic.
