I can’t see my speedometer

Does anyone have a good tip to clean up the plastic over the gauge cluster on my dash?
Being a open Good Humor Truck, the years have not been good on my dash cluster of the 69 I just bought, and you can hardly see the gauges and speedometer.
Any good tips on cleaning it?.

dont use any kind of abrasive on it. i use soap and water when i take them off. its about the best thing to do with all of them that i have done.

Non ferris metal rouge and a cloth wheel on a buffer. I did all the plastic on my Bump that way. Just work it easy and it will clear up. I polished my spedo lense that way. Take the lens out to do it.

Hope this helps

Meguiar's used to have a good plastic polish that we used on our MX goggles, I think they still make the stuff.
If yours is real toasted you can get a new one from DC for $25
