Default brake fluid on clocks :-(

any ideas on what I might use to get rid of the milkiness on my clocks caused by spilling brake fluid all over them in a crash?

You have melted the plastic you are not going to be able to get rid of it, so it new clocks time or mabye a lot of sanding and shed loads of polishing. you might get the worst out of it

New clocks?! You're all talking rubbish.

Get yourself some T-cut and start polishing, that'll do the trick.

off subject a bit BUT:

clocks..

I have a double bubble and didnt cover my screen up in this blazing sun lately- and have a very slight melt on the top of my clocks..

so be careful.. I now put a towel over the screen and then my cover every time.... I reckon a couple of days and the "dash" cudda looked like moulded licquorice.
