i was spraying my dashboard with meguir's interior vinyl/rubber cleaner on my 2001 integra. i didn't notice that some of it had gotten on my instrument panel window. i started noticing spots on it a few days after i sprayed my dashboard and now im having a hard time removing the spots left by the meguir's cleaner i used. does anybody have any solutions to remove these spots? to me it seems permanent. if im going to have to replace this, im thinking of buy a new cluster window ( not the whole guage). does anybody know if i can buy the window itself and how much it would be from the dealer?
thanks for any help on this post.

 

i have done this and its possible to remove, this is how.. with gasoline and newspaper.. trust me it will work.. once you have cleaned it off then clean it with a regular window cleaner such as ARMOR ALL glass cleaner.. i love that stuff! good luck; i speak from experiece this works make sure u use newspaper to scrubb with its rough enough to clean it and dont wory about the ink on your hands it comes off!! hehe good luck again tell me how it works out!

 

cool....lemme give that a try tomorrow. thanks

 

if only i knew this before i ended up breaking it..

 

Okay, this might be a dumb question, but how do you take it off without breaking it? I've tried to take it off before, but it always feels like I'm about to crack it.

 

Hey I had the same problem but I didn't know about the gasoline trick. I used a buffing wheel and polished most of it out. Maybe i'll try the gasoline for the rest of the little spots and the haze on my clock.
To get the clear cluster cover off (If you own an Integra) first you must remove the black bezel. It's held in by 2 screws in the top, take them out and pull the bottom of the bezel towards you. The bottom is only held on by clips and eventually will break loose. You can even try using a screwdriver that's padded with a rag or something so you don't mar your dash. the gauge cluster is then held in with a couple screws. One on either side and then one or two on the top. Take them out. Now you can access the clear cluster cover, it's only held on by 5 or 6 clips around the perimeter of the cluster. Now these clips aren't like the ones used to hold the bezel in so don't just try to yank it out. Use both hands to undo all the clips and then you should be able to pull the cover off.
Try not to get the inside of the cover dirty, you'll just make more work for yourself.
