I was cleaing my dash on the clear see through cover which i found out to be plastic and i acetoned it ( similar thing such as prepsol or thinners etc. ) Anyway i used a normal rag and found out that the acetone didnt like the PLASTIC and scratched the ****t out of the face and made it very cloudy and dull! NOT good.. Just putting this up to warn you to DO NOT use anything but metho and warm water for this kind of issue! Ill just replace it but its stuffed up the calais cluster i just bought.. luckily the clear cover can be replaced i hope Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

window cleaner might be the go next time or just a damp rag

hahah ****in hell you learn everything the hard way dont ya, lol, how did you not know it was plastic ??? and acetone on plastic, put 2 and 2 together , lol ****in hell

Yer just undo the screws around the cluster the clear bit comes off and swap it for another 1 mate.

i thought common sense would have told you not to use acetone...

**** is all i have to say. who would even think of doing that

amour oil has a simlair affect if you don't wipe it off, it will burn into the pastic and make it cloudy n crap! mainly happens when people clean there car at night and don't clean it off properly. damp cloth always works best.....wipe on wipe off!

Dude next time use window cleaner the maquires sh1t is pretty good...

Acetone, f uck man, it didn't scrath it, it ate into it!!!!

just reading the thread title made me chuckle... what the hell were you thinkin man!! -jimmy

lol reading that title does bring a chuckle hey. Oh well lesson learned, quite an unneccacary one tho. Bonus you had a spare dash.

lol,....oh well now you know!!!!

dam man didnt you ever paint those miniture soldiers?! you cant use acetone based anything on plastic! lol

You learn the hard way, Thought it was prepsol.. its like a mild acetone chemical! Yeah just use ****ing water next time!!! DAMMIT! BUt in the end who gives a **** really... nearly everythign is replaceable and cheap for VL's!

i was just thinking, ud still have to be stupid if you wanted to use prepsol on plastic cos im pretty sure that too will **** up the plastic, id elave a white cloudy **** all over it

beejay you are a farkin d!ck

haha yeah acetone is pretty nasty, as somebody said glass cleaner works well on clear plastics.
