I was thinking of overlaying a piece of clear plastic (much like the clear headlight protection film) on my instrument cluster so i can wipe it down and prevent it fron being scratched to ****. Has anone tried this ? and where to buy that stuff ? thanks

 

Why not just use a microfiber towel?

 

^^i tried that but it still leaves marks

 

Really? Maybe your towel is a little rough or old?

I guess your idea of the plastic film is good. Maybe try looking into the the helmet visor "peel offs". Know what I'm talking about?

 

oh yeah, thats good. thanks a lot. Those scratches that are already there drive me nuts. If I put a clear film over the cluster I doubt they will still be visible.

 

Maybe only when the sun hits it at certain angles. Good luck.

 

Mine got scratched like that over time, I took the plastic piece off of the cluster and buffed and sealed it. Looks good as new

 

thanks, i was really just wondering if somone has tried it yet.

 

Yea, I use a microfibre towel and the Maguires interior detail spray, and I have no scratches at all. Heres my question though. Does anyone have any ideas about preventing scratches on the clock? Those scratch so easy, and I knew that from my old Lancer oZ so I tried to prevent it this time. Still got scratched somehow....

 

^^ i was just thinking the same thing. i need some stuff 3M uses for the clear bra, i would attempt to cover both

 

my guage cover and clock were scratched when i bought my car brand new...tiny scratches but nothing major..probably did it when they were cleaning the car up

 

i thought I was picki .. i hate those scrathes too. Tnks for the idea

 

you can get 3M clear film from ebay. i got a piece to do my head light and side mirrors.

 

I think any part on the Lancer will scratch just by looking at it. I'm never owned a car with such cheap components.
