Just a heads-up to anyone cleaning their car interiors - do NOT use chemical cleaners on your gauge cluster. In my case, I used Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer, which they advertise as such:
"Safely cleans ALL Interior"
"Quickly and safely clean interior plastics, vinyl, leather, rubber, metal, and even LCD and navigation screens"
I'm here to tell you that it's a lie. Do not use this on your gauge cluster plastic. I sprayed this on and it immediately started permeating through the plastic and permanently damaged the clear plastic... It's hard to see in the pics, but all those marks are not on the surface of the plastic, it feels like it's on the other side of the plastic somehow. I tried to use some windex on it after, but it didn't take anything off...
Im just going to order a new cluster. Hopefully Honda sells just the front clear plastic seperately from the gauge display.
