The plastic cover is messed up.

[Rattlebrain 10+ year member]

While cleaning the car one day, my wife sprayed some "smelly good stuff" on the dashboard cover and some over spray got on the gage cover on the dash. Short of replacing it,(don't have the $$ for that right now) can I do anything to fix this? I have tried glass cleaner and a plastic polish that was supposed to take out haze from plastics...NOT! That picture was taken after I tried the polish. Anyone have any ideas?

try sanding with the lightest sandpaper available, then clearcoat it. should look good as new.

All I have available is 80 grit...Will that work?

I may try that. Couldn't hurt.

maybe even some rubbing compound could help, but I don't know if it will work on plastic.
