Safe Speedometer Face Cleaning: A Comprehensive Guide

Speedometers are present on everything drivable, from mopeds to big rigs. To protect the mechanism of the device, speedometers have a plastic covering. When cleaning a speedometer's face, you should exercise care in the tools and cleaners you use. Anything abrasive or containing strong solvents can result in scratching, clouding or discoloration of the plastic. This can create a barrier to viewing the speedometer.

Things You'll Need

  • 4 microfiber cloths
  • Foam wax applicator
  • 1/4 tsp. plastic polish
  • Spray-on plastic sealant
  • Wipe away any dust present on the plastic surface with a microfiber cloth.

  • Apply 1/4 tsp. of plastic polish to a foam wax applicator, and apply to the speedometer face using up-and-down and side-to-side motions.

  • Wipe the face with a clean microfiber cloth to remove all the plastic polish residue.

  • Spray the speedometer face with a layer of plastic spray-on sealant. Allow it to sit for 10 to 15 seconds. Wipe off with a clean microfiber cloth.
