Eclipse CD7000 face has "swirl marks"?

[cleanerupper 10+ year member]

Can someone with a CD7000 do me a favor and hold their head unit face in direct sunlight and tell me if they see "swirl marks". I can see them in direct sunlight but they are otherwise undetectable.

My head unit face has these "swirl marks" and I haven't wiped it with anything yet. Is this normal?

Thanks.

have u been touching it with greesy fingers? mine has stright scratch marks when u look at in the sun. Like whiping it with a t-shirt or w/e to clean it off.

Naw haven't been touching it with Mc Donalds fingers.......it's only like a week old and I haven't touched the face with any kind of cloth or fingers.

I guess since yours has it too then that means it is part of the plastic?

no swirls, just thin scratch marks. duno whats going on with urs. Trying cleaning it with one of those things people use to clean glasses. the microfiber towels.

Well they are not really swirl marks, I just call them that because they are similar to swirl marks you would see on a car's paint.

They are more of a series of extremely thin scratches, which I cannot feel with my finger nail.

If u can't see it when its in the car than its fine. I think most head units natually will end up having those thin marks. mine has alot but I cant see it in the car cuse there's always some shade so it's all good. How do u like the features?

Yeah I guess it's fine, it just kind of bothers me since the unit is supposed to be new and I can see a ton of these micro-fine scratches on it in the sun.

I love the features, definitely the best sounding unit I've had so far. I love how in 3-way mode you can EQ the highs, mids, and woofer separately from eachother.

You can remove them with Novus #2 plastic polish and a cotton ball.

Hmm...I'll look into that stuff. Last thing I want to do though is mess it up even more. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
