I then got desperate and used an old trick from military school.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If you look at the photo below you can see something on the glass (plastic) ring on the lower left and lower right of the right and center ring. After removing it I fuiured it would be an easy clean. I found it would not come off.
Now I ask:
1. CAN it be cleand off (and if so what? I trired Plexus and a microfibre.
2, If not must I replace the entire face plate (all five glass pieces and surround) Any ideas on cost?
3. Can the individual plastic windows be replaced? (although they seem to be glued in)
Thanks. And thanks to Stefan for his link on how to remove this. (It was quite easy.
John-I once got super glue on the same piece you have. I first tried GooGone found in most stores(autozone) but it only helped some. I then got desperate and used an old trick from military school. Try rubbing some Brasso gently into it with a cotton cloth. You might need to keep repeating it but it should come off. Good luck. I hope this helps.
OK, what is Brasso? I did find out from the dealer today that the only way this can be replaced is to get an entire new instrument cluster to the tune of $1600.00 plus re-programing.
I had similar gunk on the interior of my gauge faces. I used a combination of McGuire's Clear Plastic Cleaner and Plastic Polish. It took a while with q-tips, baby washcloths, micor fiber towels etc, and you will forever see little marks that you missed. However, once it's all back together, it will look much better.

Brasso is what I didn't use to polish my brass when I was in ROTC in college - resulting in many demerits. It really is a great brass cleaner and tarnish remover.
