[GTA] Detailing supplies?



I noticed some streaking on my gauge cluster, dunno what was used originally to "clean" it, but I have now tried using armor-all and stoner's, but nothing's helping.

anybody have any thoughts on what I should use? also thought about plastX'ing it, think that will work?

What I'm really looking to try is 3M Plastic Polish, anyone know where I could find it in the GTA?

I think it might be free if you order over a certain amount.

^great but none of these co's listed sell what he's looking for.

Just call up a body shop parts place or a place like Napa Auto.

^^^

I haven't been on their site for some time. They only carry a 3M clay bar.

Noodleman,

Contact Picus( Kevin) and see what he suggests cleaning an engine with. A product might be available at Cdn Tire.

CT sells plasticx, a good first shot for that gauge. Looks like someone got some silicone on there.

As for engine bays, any good APC will do. Eshine has amazing roll off, which will rock the snot out of most engine sludge, just have to be careful with it.
