Polishing Those Plastic Gauge & Clock Lenses

I've obtained a used clock core to use for my quartz conversion. The pointed clock lens is very scratched and cloudy but, it has the factory hole for the clock setting knob so, I'd like to clean it up and use it instead of having to buy a new pointed lens and drilling a hole in it.

Does this lens look like it's restorable? Can anyone recommend a product that works well and the procedure for polishing it up?

 

Beautiful, Brett. Thanks. Is/was the hole in the speedometer lens (for the speed alert) in the same position as the tach/clock lens making them interchangeable?

 

That lens looks a little rougher than the ones I have started with, but this product has worked for me before on some of the instrument clusters I have cleaned up. Meguiars PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish #G12310 Headlight cleaner. | eBay

 

If there are deeper scratches, you may want to use ultra fine polishing paper. I used a product similar to the link below on my Buick and Firebird gauge lenses. https://www.micromark.com/Micro-Mesh-Finishing-Kit
I also used it to remove scratches from the dust cover on a couple of turntables.
I finished the polishing with the Meguiars that Tony mentioned above.
Good luck!

 

Sand with 2000 grit then use the polishes mentioned above.Pictures of the Clock lens I did.

 

Looks good . Did you wet or dry sand with the 2000?

 

Wet sir always wet!

 

You can tell I'm not in the paint and body business, huh?

 

Another vote for Meguiars PlastX. Used it on my lens, and it works a treat on model car 'glass' too.

 

I had a feeling they were different.
