Re: Instrument cluster?
Mirror Glaze Clear Plastic Polish M10 you can use it as a finishing product for maximum clarity. It's the second step of a process to restoring clear plastics.
For cleaning you'll want to get Mirror Glaze Clear Plastic Cleaner M17 that will clean contaminated plastic surfaces and remove fine scratches, it's a non abrasive.
Plast-X has the diminishing abrasives that will remove light oxidation, stains, scratches, surface contamination. It's a cleaner and a polish at the same time that once you use it on the surface you'll end up with a protected finish

Re: Instrument cluster?
Wooooo stop there. You DO NOT want to use Plast-X on your Navigation Screen...it will probably mess it up pretty good. If its a touch screen of any kind, do not use Plast-X on it.
What specific parts are you wanting to clean/protect?

As for the instrument cluster, you can use Plast-X on there. I need to do that to mine.

I have a touch screen Clarion flip out in my truck. I spray a dot of foaming aerosol glass cleaner on a MF and just lightly rub it on the screen. I do this very carefully!If its fast, loud, and runs on a flammable liquid...count me in.

Re: Instrument cluster?
I agree...for everyday or weekly dusting, use IQD on the plastics and cluster of your car. If you want to clean them, i.e. remove scratches, remove haze, use Plast-X on the hard plastics only.

Re: Instrument cluster?
Just had a gentleman call me to ask how to fix the plastic on his gages in his car. His wife sprayed a popular interior dressing on them, (not ours, starts with the letter "A") and it mottled the plastic, as in kind of dissolved the plastic and turned it all cloudy.
Wanted to know if we have anything to undo the damage?
Recommended PlastX but also with a caveat that PlastX isn't designed to undo this kind of damage and it might not work or it might not work enough to restore it like new without removing the plastic face of the gauge out of the dash where a person can really get to it to work on it.
At this time he's stuck using a wax applicator pad and a couple of fingers to try to work the PlastX enough to remove enough plastic particles to fix the problem.
In our Saturday classes when it comes to interior detailing we start each section with this bullet point.
Match the product to the surface being treated
One simple guideline like this as simple as it may seem would have prevented the damage in the first place.
We wish him the best....
