One more trick, use degreaser like Simple Green. Warm water
with sponge will do-it. When sanding, use soap and water to remove scratches.
After 1000 grit go to 2000 then polish using a very fine plastic polish stick.
See example on first photo. After polishing, I re-white the text on reverse side
after first removing old white w/ simple green and stiff bristle tooth
brush.
The 120 mph 57-58 restored lens is available for $50. The 2nd
photo shows a 57-59 reproduced 150 mph lens that I had laser cut, a few
available for $50 ea.

Subject: Re: {Chrysler 300} Cleaning 57-59 dash cluster
lens On my 57 gauge lenses, they had abrasive cleaning scratches that were so
deep that I had to actually start with 1000 paper and work through compounds and
scratch removers to get to a final glow. They did come out beautiful as
new.
